Wearable Therapeutics Creates SnugVest as a Treatment for Autism

Wearable Therapeutics has launched SnugVest, a vest that uses air pressure to comfort people with autism. According to MedCity News, the vest draws from the popular idea of weighted therapy, which has been illustrated to help people with autism achieve a sense of calmness. SnugVest uses air pressure to create a more movable, wearable, and stylish option which offers the same degree of comfort.
