Background
“My passion for design drives from my interest in people and their different needs and behaviors. I especially enjoy designing within the social field and creating solutions that matter for the users every day.”

Momu - My Movement, My Music, My MoMu

Momu is a training tool that responds to movements with sound and invites to interaction. Momu has multiple applications, but it was originally developed for individuals affected by hemiplegia with the purpose of enhancing their motivation to exercise the affected side of their body. Through movement and music, it is possible to create new connections in the brain, and with consistent training, a higher level of functioning can be achieved. The sounds generated by the user's movements can be stored and transmitted, providing opportunities for physical, creative, and musical development.

Momu er et træningsredskab, som responderer på bevægelser med lyd og inviterer til interaktion. Momu har flere anvendelsesmuligheder, men er oprindeligt udviklet til borgere ramt af halvsidig lammelse med det formål, at styrke deres lyst til at træne med den berørte side af kroppen. Med bevægelse og musik kan der skabes flere nye forbindelser i hjernen, og ved vedvarende træning kan de opnå et bedre funktionsniveau. De lyde, som brugeren skaber med sine bevægelser, kan lagres og overføres, hvilket giver mulighed for at udvikle sig fysisk, kreativt og musikalsk.
