SLEEP APNEA FACEMASK
WEARABLE LIVE PROJECT - ITERATE
2023, 3 weeks project- job experience
Merging health, technology, and aesthetics to create a sleep apnea mask with a reusable modular unit and a custom 3D printed facemask. Supported via app system that tracks symptoms, offers guidance, and enables cost-effective treatment.
.
The main body is divided in two parts, a 3D printed mask made of PLA based on the scanner of the user through the app, and the modular technological device, easy to ship and use from patient to patient.
App development for scanning face features to create tailor made user experience mold for the 3D printed mask. Reduces the need for direct hospital contact, easing the workload of healthcare centers. Improves comfort, cost, and accessibility in comparison to other existing treatments.
Friendly interface to track and guide the user, during the treatment and the facemask usage using infographics and user experience principles. Collecting data for doctors and speciallists. Using infographics and user experience principles.
The development of this project took 3 weeks, from the moment we got in touch with the consultancy, to coming up with the right brief based on our research and polishing the final product.
The main body of work was to understand the user and the ergonomics of the product, doing as much research and iterations as possible
This project aligns with The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) according to the The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Due to the nature of the design, its aim in society and accessibility to all, it focuses on Goal 3, "Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages".
