early anaphylaxis monitor
the number of people with food allergies in America has doubled, each of the last decades
unrecognized anaphylaxis is the leading cause of allergy related deaths
“delayed epinephrine injection is associated with fatalities”
there is a direct correlation between the time it takes to receive treatment to anaphylaxis, and fatality as a result. The earlier the better
Avery’s story
Insights
delayed anaphylaxis can go undetected for up to 48 hours after allergen exposure, but at it’s onset, can have the same severity as an immediate reaction
Goal
create a tool to decrease severity of anaphylactic reactions and fatalities due to allergic reactions
Ideation
epinephrine is the first and most important treatment of anaphylaxis and can prevent progression to life threatening symptoms
sketch ideation focused on friendly forms, with smooth contours, simple tech integration solutions, and few components, focused on durability
Mood

Avery’s New Story
CMF Decisions
CMF exploration following youth trend forcasts
tech pieces and bands are interchangeable, allowing for customization and increased longevity of tech
no information is displayed on wearable
user group is targeted towards young children who wouldn’t benefit from seeing their health stats throughout the day
charge battery by removing top piece, and plugging into charging case
users can have multiple batteries (in customizable casings) to allow for constant monitoring
the app is specified to three user groups, to best provide features specified to a users needs
“parent” and “personal” modes allow for customization and incorporation of health data, and more in depth data tracking, “teacher” mode allows for easy connection to many devices, for surface level tracking without access to data entry
simple three piece design
pieces pull apart for easy size adjustment and charging
battery is housed in top piece, heart rate monitor, body temperature sensor, and blood pressure monitor housed in bottom piece firmly against the skin
