Shared embodiment in future health

In transhuman health scenarios, the optimization of bodies risks reducing diversity and redefining care as an individual responsibility rather than a collective condition. This speculative product design project explores shared embodiment through exoskeletons, proposing a system to enhance communication and support physical capacity across bodies. Through fiction, critical reflection, and prototyping, the project questions dominant narratives, from medical correction to mediation, and from optimization to interdependence. It ultimately reframes long-term futures in relation to the present, drawing on experiences of older adults and people with motor disabilities, and aligning with the social model of disability, where disability is not an exception but a condition that can emerge at any person in any point in life.
