opa seniors smart coat by charles doiron from canada

designer's own words:

The target users for OPA are seniors and their caretakers. As our population ages mobile technologies will help seniors to live independently. It allows caretakers to monitor seniors who venture outside during the winter but are not fully aware of the risks involved. Senior often slip on ice and are unable to call for help. Caretakers would use their smart phones to track their location. OPA involves a smart coat that monitors the wearer, a mobile application and a network.
