ReclineRelief

Recline, stay calm, and keep your head above waters.

Storyboard - Problem to the Solution

To develop water rescue equipment that prevents the impacts of cold water shock, ensuring the user stays calm and above water.

My final design was finalised upon conducting semistructured interviews, surveys, and research on existing products. Product testing ensured accurate deployment and ergonomics were satisfactory for all uses

Tim and Ben are walking home along the canal after being at the pub for a couple drinks.

Ben stumbles on the uneven path causing himself to fall into the cold canal waters.

Ben begins to experience cold water shock and his heart rate begins to rapidly increase.

Tim quickly notices the ReclineRelief in the distance, due to its bold, bright colours.

Ben holds the RelineRelief in the H.E.L.P position, his heart rate lowers and his head is kept above waters.

Ben stays calm in waters until the Royal Life Saving Society rescues him to his safety.
