The world never lack of ideas, only lack of beach to let waves bring ideas to shore.

I am an observer and a discoverer. Watching, waiting and taking ideas ashore.

Let them become residents on the island and grow stronger and healthier.

I like to share my beach with other people and visit other people's beach as well.

The connection between me and others help my beach be visited by more waves, and allowing waves to bring more nutrients and ideas while colliding the shore.

01 BIRDO Data communication during cardiovascular rehabilitation Product Design

Introduction Birdo helps people with heart disease to rehabilitate at home. The system consists of a body patch, a physical device and an App. The patch on the patient's body collects heart rate and sleep data, while the physical device visualizes body data with lights, sounds, and movements to motivate the patient to perform rehabilitation activities, and provides detailed information in the App. Patients can decide whether to share the data with their doctors for tracking, providing privacy and control.

Team Member HUANG, PO-YANG (Me) I am responsible for Birdo system architecture, App interface, body patch design, Birdo animation rendering and result analysis.

BACKGROUND

Cardiovascular rehabilitation Current therapy after a heart attack or other cardiac incident requires patients to wear an on-body patch with a heart rate sensor throughout the day (Bostrom et al., 2020). The problem with the patch is that it is not interactive, with data going in and out without the patient noticing or comprehending it (Buys et al., 2016). Lack of insights demotivates patients to continue rehabilitation (Russel & Bray, 2010). Lack of knowledge and understanding of the data also cause communication difficulty between patient and cardiologist (Piepoli & Cupples, 2020). Cardiologists now have a lack of information into a patient's daily life, including stress, sleep, and activity because the tracking device for patient is only analysed every two weeks following doctor-administered rehabilitation sessions.

DESIGN PROCESS The project is in collaboration with Inno4health and its partners. The design of “Birdo” was done using the Double Diamond method. In this process, we took several steps containing personas, brainstorm sessions based on a data communication model, and talks with experts.

• Birdo data collection model

Data visualization/ physicalization One of the methods to visualize data is the use of physicalization.

Physicalization of data is a relatively new field of study that examines how the physical reproduction of computer-enabled data can help in cognition, communication, learning, problem-solving, and decisionmaking.

Since cardiac patient rehabilitation is mostly about data visualization, it is critical to seek methods to provide data in a new, simply understood, and interpretable format to reintroduce the patient to an understanding of their own data. By merging data exploration and analysis with physical data representation, it connects conventional disciplines such as visualization and tangible user interfaces (Jansen et al., 2015). One example is from RMIT's Exertion Games Lab, they used 3D printers to materialize bodily data including five physical indicators of their activities which help people build emotional connections with data (Khot et al., 2013).

Based on existing research and on-body sensors, we envisioned an onbody sensor which can be continuously worn and which monitors vital signs such as ECG, and acceleration. Based on this on-body sensor, we designed Birdo as a tailored application which uses smart algorithms to derive heart rate and sleep duration through ECG and activity data such as acceleration and step count. We design the representation of such derived data, and the interaction between the patient and the envisioned system.

IDEATION (Teamwork)

Idea Iteration

Exploded view

Birdo focuses on data communication to patient and doctor during rehabilitation. The design focuses on informing, inspiring and motivating the patient with the help of their data during the rehabilitation process. By thinking outside the box and coming up with new variations of our system, a '100 sketch challenge' was done. After a function description, a form follows function iteration was done by clay modeling.

Prototype Iteration The first model(left) is a simple design, showing the final size, containing only the bearings, without any electronic parts. After the second iteration(right), Birdo device is equipped with motors, buttons and bearings.

The working prototype was made by Lotte van Berkel and the coding was helped by Luke van Luijn.

Body sensor In addition to the Birdo device, we also redesigned the body sensor.

The sensor resulted in a flat overall design with large rounded corners that would blend in with the wearer. Because the sensor sticker must be replaced every week, we create a detachable sensor base. It features three small indicator LEDs: caution, battery, and Bluetooth connectivity.

03

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Birdo system The Birdo system was developed for this project to visualize data to improve the connection between data and patients. Three components form the system: a patch, a physical device, and an application. These devices can communicate with one another through Bluetooth and NFC, establishing a patch-Birdo, Birdo-App, and patch-App connection. Body sensor was used to collect heartrate and capture waking and NREM sleeping data. Data will be transfered to Birdo device to give different visualized feedback to motivate patient (we designed 4 different status). The application provides more detailed information of heartrate, sleep data, HBAL, and diary function.

04

Application The mobile application inter face is designed in a cle an and ne at w ay, without giving all the information at once, so that patients can select the information they want to see according to their needs, as most patients prefer to use simple interactions. The main color of the application is in grayscale, the same color as the Birdo physical device and sensor. The application uses different colors, reflecting Birdo’s light symbols: heart rate is orange and sleep is blue.

The Birdo application’s diary feature is intended to provide help for the patient when recalling their progress during doctor appointments. The diary records daily conversations with Birdo, and if a patient wants to view the records for a specific date, they can view all conversations for that day by selecting the date and clicking on the receipt that is automatically generated when Birdo sends data to the doctor. Patients do not have to use additional tools to record their physical condition because Birdo has already taken care of it.

When irregularities in the data are detected, Birdo pushes a notification to ask for contextual det ails from the patient, and asks for the patient’s consent to send the message to the doctor. This allows patients to control the privacy of their own data, while also providing the necessary medical advice.

Other features include personal settings and profiles, which provide patients with customized goals and personal information to give them a sense of personalization.

USER TEST & RESULT (Teamwork) The aim of this study was to investigate whe-ther participants understood the model and if the functionalities and the user story were understandable. How can patients undergoing cardiovascular rehabilitation be motivated and inspired to utilize sensors daily to establish a connection with data that speeds up the rehabilitation process?

Expert interview

Focus group

Cardiac patients

We conducted a focus group with six non-designers in the age range of 22-24.

The focus group was mainly meant to discuss the aesthetics of the model in order to integrate insights into the iteration process.

Quantitative and qualitative data were collated and cross-referenced from two persons who suffered from cardiovascular disease.

We also conducted an interview with a data physicalization expert to gather feedback on the design of Birdo. Bart Hengeveld expert in sonification and PhD student Kim Sauve, an expert in data visualisation were interviewed.

BACKGROUND According to National Statistics, R.O.C.(Taiwan), the birth rates drop in recent years in Taiwan. Many families choose not to have children. If they do, they will try to give their first baby the best care and love. However, if one of the parents accept the assignment of the company to work in a foreign country, he or she might not have enough time to accompany with new born baby and become the pseudo single-parent family .

Possible Solution & Draw Back As for video chat ting, both par ties must go online at the same time, a time difference will make it difficult.

Considering that children aged 0-1 sleep longer, video chatting time will be limited.

25 20

Video chatting requires a lot of time looking at screen, causing baby's eyes' muscles to stif fen and ef fecting their vision development .

Functional prototype

We hope that RECOROO is a product that can accompany baby during their growth. The concept of guardian angel was used to design the exterior and a baby image was given to remind parents keep a smile while caring their baby.

After confirming the overall APP structure, we used Photoshop to design the APP interface and uploaded them to Zeplin. Technical adviser assisted us in programing the APP by using Android Studio. Raspberry Pi was used to design the control circuit to build a functional model.

Structure Prototype

Final Prototype

Through 3D modeling, we ensured the internal structure was feasible and accurate. Considering the size of electronic parts, we used 3D printing to produce many versions of model to design the internal structure.

After confirming the size and structure, we found the model factory and discussed the feasibility of the structure with their structural engineer. Then use CNC to cut ABS for processing. Finally painted the surfaces. We chose three bright colours to stimulate baby's vision because they have poor eyesight before 12 months.

RESEARCH

Background

Interview (Teamwork)

The standard laboratory equipment mainly includes goggles, face mask, gloves, and laboratory gowns.

We interviewed some students and asked them what they think about wearing goggles and the troubles they will encounter during the experiment.

"Basically, we don't use goggles when we do experiment because we think it is unnecessary."

Pain Point

Subject A

Many students feel that wearing goggles is cumbersome and troublesome. They feel that there is no need to wear goggles without touching their eyes, which may cause accidents.

"When conducting experiments, we need to free up our hands to operate the equipment. It will be inconvenient to use paper, pen or other 3C products to record the experiment process, and there will be concerns about contaminating chemicals and materials."

According to "Middle School Laboratory Accident Investigation Report", cuts, burns, scalds, chemical contact with skin and eye accidents occur most frequently. These can be prevented by wearing laboratory equipment.

INTERVIEW (Teamwork) "At the beginning, I like to climb small mountain, later I start to do research online and visit website like 'HIKING BIJI' and take notes. I usually climb alone."

Subject A 25 years old

"I don't usually bring a compass map or anything. I use 'Green Tracks', I can download some offline maps that show what Google Maps can’t display"

"I like mountain climbing because I like sports. The air on the mountain is good and quiet.

I like the feeling of climbing with my companions."

Subject B 23 years old

"Now we have a group and will go mountain climbing at least once a month."

Subject D 24 years old

Subject G 22 years old

11 23

"We say that climbing to the top is called 'reach the summit', you can put your luggage in the mountain house or tent, then go to the summit with a small bag, after reaching the summit, it is possibly to watch the sunrise."

Subject E 29 years old

"The advantage of climbing with the group is that you don’t need to carry a lot of things, like stove or even map.

The disadvantage is that it’s expensive."

"Improper equipment will cause muscle soreness and physically uncomfortable such as knee pain."

"There are two types of road signs, plastic strips and wooden posts."

"Self-organized climbing means that everyone knows each other better."

"We will walk the way people walked, usually we will see street signs."

"We will use paper maps, 'Green Tracks', and oruxmaps"

60 years old

24 years old

"Usually there is a leader who is responsible for planning the itinerary, and he is the leader. I usually serve as a cook."

"If the weather is bad, there might be heavy rain and it will be slippery, need to be much careful"

"Road signs along the way, such as cloth strips, folded branches, piles of rocks, road signs (acrylic or plastic)."

Subject H

Subject C

"After the first experience of mountain climbing, I think I should strengthen my physical body."

"In fact, there will be signal points on the mountain, Chunghwa Telecom, which can actually communicate."

"I think it would be good to develop a cloth strip that is not harmful to the environment."

"Tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad. Pots, stoves, lighters, clothes. We usually wear a set of windproof and rainproof clothes that do not change.

About ten kilograms for two days and one nights."

"The APP map is actually quite accurate, only occasionally the positioning will be biased."

Subject F 57 years old

"Plastic strips really destroy the beauty of the mountains,...but it will be your lifesaver if you get lost in the mountain."

"Before departure, set the GPS route of the handheld and turn it on at the mountain climbing port. The navigation is more accurate and there is no signal problem."

Subject I 52 years old

"It is very common to have fog in the mountain, if you are not familier with the path, the fog will affect your judgment"

05 ANGLELIGHT Interesting device for helping children pack toys Product Design

Introduction Anglelight is a lid with an "anglerfish" shape that can cover on any toy box. When kids throw their toys into the box through the mouth of Anglelight, toys will trigger the infrared sensor inside the lid and the light will shine, attracting kid's attention and making the task more enjoyable.

BACKGROUND

3C Generation

Impact of using 3C products

Nowadays, more and more parents let their children expose to 3C products in an early age because they are too busy to accompany their children. According to Prudential plc, 61% of the interviewed parents stated that their children were exposed to 3C products before school age.

However, according to researches, excessive sound and light stimulation will cause children unable to focus on other tasks. Moreover, using 3C products too long will also cause alienation between children and their parents which may affect parent-child relationship.

Actions that parents can take According to research, doing housework is an opportunity to learn how to share responsibility with others. At first, parents can guide children pick up and organize their things, toys or space that they use, and then gradually expand to do family work with their parents. This activity will help their children cultivate the ability of cooperating with other people at the same time.

DESIGN PROCESS

Research

Market Research (Teamwork) John. Dewey, an American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer, emphasized that learning must start from the "experience" of children.

It is important to encourage children to explore the environment proactively during teaching activities.

So we decide to design a product to help parents guide their children build the habbit of doing housework, starting from picking up and organizing their own toys which is an acitivity most relevant to kids.

Let children learn how to organize can also activate their prefrontal (responsible for analyze and process information), so that they will have better thinking ability.

We investigated the toy storage boxes that are common on the market and classified them into several categories, then put them on the image map.

1. Toy storage box

2. Toy storage rack

3. Toy storage cabinet

4. Toy storage bucket

The vertical axis is fun - dull, and the horizontal axis is movable - fixed. The result shows that most of the fixed toy storage boxes are found to be more dull while removable toy storage boxes are more interesting.

OBSERVATION (Teamwork)

IDEATION (Teamwork)

Finding

Sketch

We discovered that children tend to "throw" their toys into toy box.

Since toys are usually being scattered around the room, children need to walk around to collect their toys.

We thought that the image of the Lophiiformes using light to attract prey can be used as an image to attract children to pack toys.

Mockup & Test To verify this idea, we made a prototype using corrugated paper. When children threw their toys into the box, we lit up the styrofoam ball. The result shows that children are curious about the device and are more willing to put toys in the box.

Pain point While picking up toys, children are easily being distracted by other things and spend a lot of time on the task. As a result, parents need to encourage them and find some methods to attracte their attention.

Background

MARKET ANALYSIS

Hand Grip Type Our body ages while aging, along with diseases and pains. Maintaining exercise habits can improve physical health of older adults.

The hand grip in the market can be classified as traditional, adjustable, multi-pointing, electronic and others. Electronic hand grip was chosen as the experimental sample since other types of gripper do not provide feedback to the user's human-machine interface, making it impossible for the user to determine their own grip strength.

Studies have shown that training upper limb and grip power can help older adults maintain their daily lives.

Adjustable

Multi-pointing

Electronic

Other

Sample

Hand grip is a common grip training equipment. It is suitable for older adults because of its low entry threshold and low risk comparing to other training equipment.

Traditional

Pain Point

Oriori Grip Game If the shape of the grip is not appropriate, it will compress the hand or cause a wrong operation posture, which is easy to cause hand diseases.

Most of the grippers on the market are designed for young and middle-aged people.

There is no hand grip designed for older adults.

During my market research, I found that the Oriori hand grip has its own grip game which was perfect to serve as a pre-test sample. To understand the types of games older adults prefer, I categorized Oriori's grip games into three categories based on gaming style: quick pinch, continuous pinch, pinch control. I selected three representative games as the experimental samples and let the participants to play them.

The feedback of using hand grip is not interesting enough to attract older adults to use.

HAND GRIP GAME DESIGN

App Architecture

Comparison of game level pages

The grip game was designed using the MIT APP Inventor using "Ringo's Treats" as a reference model, which was popular among the participants.

Game level: Easy

In this research App game, players must change the direction of the sparrow's flight by gripping and releasing the grip, eating the falling scoring objects and dodging the obstacles at the same time. To ensure that each grip and release is a complete grip training, the sparrow will only change direction when the micro switch makes a sound due to the grip.

USABILITY TEST

Testing Process

GUESS Result Analysis

The experiment was conducted with a grip strength device and a grip strength game prototype. After the experiments, the participants were asked to fill out the System Usability Scale (SUS) and the Game User Experience Satisfaction Scale (GUESS), and then a semi-structured interview was conducted.

The overall mean score of the GUESS Game Scale was 29.6. Since there are no standardized comparable scores for the scale, this mean score is only available for comparison in subsequent studies. The mean scores for each factor were similar. There were no significant differences in the total scores of the GUESS scales as indicated by the results of each factor.
