I believe there are three pillars that must be considered when developing wearable platforms for assistance/rehabilitation in order for successful adoption into daily life.
Performance: The most apparent pillar, a wearable device must effectively accomplish its tasks. For an assistive device, this is generally transferring adequate torque/forces to the human body.
Human-System Communication: Wearable devices are tightly coupled human-agent systems. There needs to be proper data transfer from the human to the robot (e.g., intent-detection) and from the robot to the user (e.g., haptic feedback).
Comfort and Accessibility: Generally one of the most overlooked aspects in wearable device design, If a device is too complex to don/doff or uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time, it won't be used by consumers.
