When the project was submitted, an initial search for a product on the market revealed that there was no solution to the problem of people with a "Dropped Head Syndrome", such as our user. Most of the neck braces currently available on the market are rigid and do not facilitate the daily activities of our user. In addition, the unsightly aspect as well as the difficulty of handling and putting them in place represented an obstacle to their use. A first prototype was developed during a hackathon organised by HackaHealth in 2019. During this event, the first foundations of the concept were laid and a first (rudimentary) prototype showed a real potential in real use in a person suffering from Dropped Head Syndrome (DHS).
