Role:

industrial Designer

Duration:

3 Months

Type:

Team of 4

Background

Aboul 6 million sudden cardiac deaths occur annually . The survival rate from SCA is less than 1% worldwide.

Why Me?

IF performed immediately, CPR can double or triple the chance of survival from an out of hospital cardiac arrest.

Objective

Design for people who have received CPR training but are not confident enough to come forward to practice CPR in the face of emergencies. People care about others but are afraid of not being the qualified one; taking the responsibility, and doing the wrong steps

WILL YOU PERFROM CPR ON A STRANGER ?

On my way back to Brooklyn, I had a great conversation with my Uber driver. We saw someone lying on the street, and I asked:

Primary Research

We interviewed people learnt CPR in various stages of their life, and asked them the same question. The results surprisingly indicated that people who have received CPR training but are not confident enough to come forward to practice CPR in the face of emergencies.

Realization
Realization

We successfully detected and recorded pressures by considering a 0.5-0.6 second interval for normal pressing. This involved incorporating pressure values into the settings and filtering out minor interference wave electric currents.

Coding Tests

Arduino Prototyping with Flexiforce Pressure sensor

Low Fidelity Model

Physical Model Testing

Our product is designed to help performing CPR immediately after the patient fell to the ground and until the AED / ambulance arrive. Our primary objective is to deliver a flawless experience by guaranteeing an ideal fit for users' hands and providing unwavering assistance throughout the entire process. We kindly request the opportunity to showcase our expertise in effectively overseeing these pivotal phases

Visual Feedback System
Visual Feedback System

We ended up using a style that mimics the heartbeat effect as the core of the visual feedback. While the dots on around it record the number of cycle performed.
