CARDIAC MONITORING

Chest discomfort is one of the most frequent and nuanced symptoms

encountered in the emergency setting.

In colloboration with:

8 weeks individual work

2 weeks group work

Intensive user research, Digital sketching, Sketchmodelling, Conference

calls, User testing, Alias, Rapid Prototyping, Modelbuilding, Painting

APPROACHDuringthefirstweekoftheproject

completed four intensive days of user research at Ume ambulance station. This included thoroughly analyzing and testing equipment, gaining further insight into daily procedures and observing the paramedics in action across 28 emergency calls.

HUMAN-CENTERED

DESIGNSince a strong collaboration has been established with the paramedics & nurses, the chances of validating ideas and concepts lays within hand-reach. During the project, prototypes will be tested with the paramedics & nurses.

ANALOGUE VS. DIGITALDigital sketches were made to make the communication between Laerdal and us easier. Besides having a nice image, digital sketches can be used to rapidly explore form and colour. Using one main digital sketch and explore that one will make decision making easier. The reason is the consistency between sketches.

CardiacStart is a new way of accurately acquire an electrocadiograph (ECG) of

patients. The use of wireless ECG electrodes is making it able to acquire an ECG twice as fast. The self sensing electrodes are making existing

wires useless, which results in a less busy workspace around the patient.

Themainbody,whichincludesadefibrillator,

has a detachable monitor. When there is a less severe case (priority 2), the paramedic can

carry the light ECG monitor to acquire an ECG. By replacing the printer, which is used in the

current situation to print ECGs, with a screen, the weight can be reduced with 2 kg.

Detach ECG-monitor by clicking the button

DEFIBRILLATOR BODYThemainbodyofthedefibrillatorcanbeheldvertically

with an integrated handle during carrying. It includes two orange buttons which can be pushed to detach the ECG-monitor or the battery. There is an option to attach a strap to the main body as well. The strap can be attached above the orange button, shown below, and at the bottom of the product. For long distance walks or when the paramedic is busy with both hands, the strap is a usefull feature.

USER INTERFACEThe user interface of the detachable screen replaces the printer that is used nowadays because its using the same measurements as the printed ECG. An integrated keyboard makes it able for the paramedic tofillinthepatientdetailsfaster

then the current situation. The keyboard can also be used to write comments which can

be send to the cardiologist. Besidesfillinginpatientdetails

and reviewing the ECG results, the user interface includes software that supports the paramedic during CPR and breathing assistence. A CPR assistence bar that goes up and down, beeps and voice assistence are examples of the supporting software.

Paramedic A wireless ECG - electrode will remove the dangle of wires that is lying on the patient. The paramedic can now measure the patients bloodpressurewithoutfindingawayaroundthecables.

PatientThe patient feels more relaxed without

cables over his/her body. This will result in a more accurate ECG.

1. PRODUCT ARCHITECTURE

The wireless ECG-electrode exists of two parts. The part with the transmitter and electronics (1) is plastic and is a long-term use product. The pad (2) is a disposable sillicon part that is using a

conductive gel at the bottom to receive the electrical activity better. A click button is chosen because its used in the current situation,

where it shows good conductivity.

2. CLICKING PAD

The part with transmitter (1) can easily be clicked into the pad. Also the button makes it easy to detach this part from the pad.

3. SIZE REFERENCE

The pad is 40 x 40 x 10 mm

GRADUATION PROJECT

Design a concept for in the kitchen environment which works on gas and

will be sold in the high-end gas cooktop market in the year 2020



working in-house

Large scale data gathering, Patent research, Technical development,

Modelbuilding

COMPANYThe goal was to create a product which uses gas as a heating source to heat food as ATAG Nederland is a specialist in gas products.

USER RESEARCHDuring the analysis phase I used two kinds of user research. First of all I arranged a focus group with cooking lovers to get familiar with cooking as a hobbyist. (1 = Qualitative data)

A design probe was made to gain more insights in the way the target group is cooking (2 = Quantitative data). Users were asked to solve scenarios, draw their dream kitchen and what kind of supplements theyre using. Also, they were asked to take photos for a week during their cooking process.

DIFFERENT PEOPLE, DIFFERNT NEEDS! IN WHAT WAY CAN ATAG DESING A PRODUCT THAT SATISFIES DIFFERENT TYPES OF CHEFS?

Flexibility and smartness in devices is becoming

more and more important for hobby

chefs

A gas cooktop doesnt always have the correct burners (due to family

size)

The space between burners of all gas

cooktops of competitors is not enough for big

Chefs and hobby cooks prefer gas cooktops

as the flame and knob gives a good control

FOCUS GROUP DURING MY THESIS

DESIGN DNATo completely understand the ATAG design DNA, I analyzed all of the products of ATAG. Afterwards I made a small booklet with all of the design elements described per cooktop line. This booklet gave me a good reference during discussions with colleagues.

IDEATIONThe ideation was divided in two different phases. First of all I invited some people from the focus group, together with colleagues of ATAG and started brainstroming about the findings of my research (1).

The second stage of the ideation was done individually. After I clustered the ideas from the first ideation phase, I started sketching more ideas related to these clusters. (2)

DESIGN INSPIRATIONBeforefinalizingtheconcept

I made up a moodboard to constrain myself within the design language. This moodboard made the communication between engineers, project managers and industrial designers easier.

USER TESTINGOne of the most important things of designing is getting feedback from users. During my graduation projecttesteddifferentuser

The concept is a gas cooktop with universal points where you can click differentburnersinto.Thismeansthattheusercanchange burners between cooking sessions. If more people are coming over for dinner, the consumer needs burners with more power. Normally youll buy a cooktop for about ten yearswithafixedsetup.

This modular gas platform will be using one magnetic knob which controls the whole the cooktop. Using a knob in a gas cooktop gives control over the flame.Asthegasregulationiselectronicallycontrolled,digitalfeaturescan

be implemented as well. A timer which automatically shuts down the gas inlet when it ends is one of those features.

After discussing with product engineers, lab engineers and combustion experts, a theoretical technique has been developed to create a detachable gas burner

on universal connecting points.

WHY ARE YOU STUCK TO A FIXED COOKING AREA?

As visible in the image displayed on the left page, the gas hobs are modular. Two hobs can be used to create a big heating area. The modular system is designed in such a way that the bridge burner, the long burner which is

connected between the two gas hobs, can be positioned between every gas hob.

CHILDREN, ALWAYS FUN!

We visited a pre-school where they focus on children with speech and language disorder. We spoke with teachers and speech- & language

experts.

StorytellingChildren need stories to know why they are doing the things they are doing. A book has been which

the child can read alone or together with the parent.

Parent - child engagementIn this product the parent is responsible for handling the exercise on the iPad so the

child can focus on his speech exercises.

RewardThe child will be stimulated to do his exercises becuase his buddy Ploppi needs to

get feed.

Parent controlsThe parents has control over the app and helps his/her child when

necessary.

Daily exercisesThe child will start with an easy

exercise functioning as a warm-up, followed by a more difficult exercise and it ends with an easy exercise.

Auditive feedbackAn auditive feedback is included.

The iPad will play the sounds first and the child has to repeat

them afterwards.

relief is a shower concept which empowers the pleasure to shower together. This shower, inspired by

mother natures beauty, can not only be used as a couple shower, but

could give you a complete wellness experience when showering alone.

The twigs of the shower could be used independently to satisfy your needs

or create a complete indoor wellness experience. The shower can be used

with the handles, whose are positioned at the bottom.
