Concept

-Background:

  Every time we went to hospital, people spend lots of time sitting on the chair, starring at the screen, waiting for our number to call up. During the waiting time, we found out people tend to do nothing and simply just starring at “screens”, such as television or phones.

  Another thing we found out is that there will always be machines let people to measure their pulse and blood pressure. But we notice that there’s not much people will stop by and actually use that machine.

  That's when we come up with this concept. We think that maybe we can make good use of the waiting time.

-Purpose:

  We think that perhaps we can design a device, which place in the hospital drawing people’s attention in order to create some kind of interaction with each other. Hoping that by this device we can let the people who are waiting willing to come up to the pulse measuring machine and perhaps drag people’s interest while waiting for their call.

-Method:

  By combining our two observations, we design this device that people can just simply put their figure on the sensor and it can sense the person’s pulse. And we feedback with color changing images other that just numbers to let the tester know their physical condition.

 

-Result:

  We design this device as a geometric heart shape in order to let people instantly realized what’s the purpose of this device. Also we use wood as the material, hoping this device will ease up people’s tension and gives people positive feelings. This is a device that will gives you delightful and warm feeling while letting you keep track of your own physical condition during the time waiting in the hospital.
