“…No matter how big the basic squares are and how many of them are there, if the closed textile has a breadth 𝓁, the opened textile has a breadth 1.4 × 𝓁. The flexibility allows it to respond to the shape of the human body [31]. The shape-changing textile is made of recycled textile-waste felt and is a kinetic system.…”

“…By adding actuators, it can become a robotic textile that is able to provide very different haptic experiences. A shape-changing robotic textile could be compared to a soft muscle that can apply or release pressure [31]. A guiding feedback provided by the robotic textile that generates more or less pressure by moving the squares is ideal to navigate the breathing of the child.…”

Wearable technologies are being implemented in the health and medical context with increasing frequency. Such technologies offer valuable opportunities to stimulate self-management in these domains. In this context, engagement plays a crucial role. An engaged patient is a patient who is emotionally involved and committed to the therapy or care process. Particularly for children who have to follow some sort of therapy, engagement is important to ensure a successful outcome of the therapy. To design for engagement, a framework based on theories of motivation in child therapy was developed. This framework was applied to the design of a wearable breathing trainer for children with asthma and dysfunctional breathing. As such, the present paper provides knowledge about the implementation of theory on engagement and motivation in design. Expert and first user evaluations found that the resulting prototype is appealing, perceived as useful, and may engage children in breathing training and stimulate self-management.
