Industrial Design Engineering: Design For Specific Users Edition 2020
|
What's the Res(e)t?This Res(e)t is combined with a lamp and an application. The lamp is able to be turned on by the application to to inform others while the user is resting. The application has two modes (the main user mode and the stakeholders’ mode). The main user mode is able to set a rest, recording and sharing the data while the stakeholder mode is able to get the resting and body states of the main user.
|
1. Inform the families and friends while resting
This will be done with the interaction between the application and the lamp. The lamp is linked to the application by a bluetooth and it will turn on when the user is using the resting function on the phone. The people at home will notice that without a face to face communication. |

2. State the body and resting data
The body state will be required at the start of the day and this will be recorded in the data page which can let people understand their situation and pay more attention to that. The resting data is based on the state of pain, energy and happiness before and after the resting sections. These information will be obtained from two small forms. People are able to find these information in the data fonction based on a day, week and month level which can help them to compare different rest situations and get an overall rest achievement. |
3 Share the data with families and friends
Stakeholders are able to know whether the main user is resting and find the resting and body state of the main user if they are allowed by him or her. This might help them to understand the situation of the MS user without a frequent communication of their state. In order to protect the privacy of MS users they are able to set the privacy level through the application to choose the data they would like to share with others. |
The lamp is created to inform other stakeholders, such as family and friends, about when the user (person with MS) is sleeping or resting. Through an application the user can indicate when they are resting and through the connection of the application and the lamp, the lamp will turn on, consequently informing other stakeholders. This general idea was developed into the Res(e)t, a worked out product and application which cooperate to create better communication between people with MS and their family and friends.
If the stakeholders are not at home, they will also receive an notification through the app to inform them about the main users' resting state |
