Finding Needs

After looking at their lines of products and going out to outdoor stores there were several places
where there was space for new products.

Bleeding must be stopped after 10 minutes or it can be fatal

Phase 1:

Started off with several AI Assistants that help come up with solutions for most medical emergency situations by looking for local medical plants. Scratched concept after doing a simulation and realizing it takes too long to receive instructions in an emergency

Phase 2:

Moved forward with solutions that were readily accessible and were effective at sealing up the wound. Attempted to tackle it with biomimcry with a design similar to a leech and an octopus

Phase 3:

With accessibility in mind, I created different variations that were quick to get to and compact. At the same time, found synthetic skin gel was a way to seal up injuries and be able to stay on in different harsh conditions.

Testing Accessibility

Hand cuffs are the main inspiration for the accessibility of the product.

Attempt to create a latch that can be opened easily. Did not work well since it would stay on when pulled. Too tight

T2.jpg

New version of latch would fall off when person would be walking. Too weak.

T6.jpg

Attempted to define the application process with consideration on an injured user.

T3.jpg

Attempted concept of a hard wearable to test accessibility. It required too much dexterity for certain situations

T5.jpg

Reached a point where the opening of the band was simple with the use of magnets holding it closed and retractable bands

Technology

polyglycerol sebacate

A material that is commonly used/studies for tissue engineering applications due to its elastomeric mechanical properties and biocompatibility. It is used to cover up burns and cuts to help them heal a lot faster and disinfect themIt is projected in 4 years to have strong weather resistance and able to become a gel.
