Project Resilient - Phase 2

Project Overview

Building on Phase 1 research to identify an affordable garment and/or bandage solution to support Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) patients. Patients often feel restricted by the limited and uncomfortable bandage and clothing options when managing flares and accompanying leakage, contributing to a negative self-image. As Phase 2, this project aims to develop a product that helps manage the symptoms of HS so that patients can live a better quality of life.
