EPILINK Epinephrine auto-injector
Smart and reusable epinephrine auto- injector for people who have allergic anaphylaxis reaction and allergic emergency cabinet for public spaces. Collaboration with 2016
research what is anaphylaxis?
1 in 25
people suffer from a food allergy
Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death. It typically causes more than one of the following: an itchy rash, throat or tongue swelling, shortness of breath, vomiting, and low blood pressure. Common causes include insect bites and stings, foods, and medications.

OSTIM & KURTULUS Fire Stations in Ankara were visited and user interviews were organized with firefighters.
user experience
problem definition timing Timing, the main fire station takes too long (10 plus minutes) Fire gets out of hand after 5 mins Provides communication and knowledge of situation to larger crews reducing the time it takes to formulate an action plan accessability Fire fighters cannot assess indoor industrial fires well. Vehicle provides support and safety for firefighters when entering the building. Electric car can be safer and easily manoeuvrable for fire fighters
‘‘The most important thing is first intervention.’’ Ahmet, 52
rescue Quick access, provides immediate fast response into area. It should provide immediate first aid to victims before other crews can arrive.

usage scenario
The firefighter adjusts water- foam ratio in control box.
When fire alarm is on, they take their gear from the vehicle and get prepared to enter the building.
When the accident occurs, they open storage part and choose proper tools to rescue workers.
They begin to extunguish fire.
They clear scene using cordless cutting tools to access and apply first aid to injured.
The firefighters work together with external crew.
If needed, they can use a scoop stretcher to carry injured to ambulance.

The home bathroom faucet
Developing a sustainable bathroom faucet inspired by flow of water on plants through incorporating biomimicry approach 2014
research biomimicry approach As a design method biomimicry was used in this project. Through nature trips, samples were collected and analysed in terms of form and function. .Different features of plants were explored to be inspired for this project.
The flow of water in plants was inspirational in terms of form to indicate where water comes and where it is stored naturally.

Ease of cleaning with rounded section. Adjust easily through long flow rate control. Effective use and visibility of resources through hierarchy between controls. Stabilization for temperature of water.
Easy assembly for different sink types. More visible controls to adjust hot & cold water. Aerated filter to save water. Chrome matte & polished alternatives. High aesthetics quality.
usage scenario cold temperature & closed
When faucet is closed, controls’ angles are 180,so users can realize right position.
warm temperature & half flow rate
When control sticks are near to the midpoint, temperature will warm and flow rate will increased.
hot temperature & maximum flow rate
In the 90 degree position, it reaches maximum temperature and flow rate.

product details & accessories
cooking & serving The platfrom has variety of cooking surface options including ragged grate, stone and clay. When the cutting board is rotated , it can be used as serving eqipment.
usage scenario
The platform can be mounted on an island type countertop for double sided usage with parts ranging between 2,4 and 6.
The parts of the platform can be arranged in different variations for more personalized usage. By this way, it is easier for that multiple people can cook together.
With the transparent surface of the parts, it is clear to see if the resistance is heating or not. To change or repair the parts, since the bottom of the parts are open, it is easy to access them.
Apart from the island type kitchen, it can also be mounted on regular one sided countertops with parts ranging between 2,4 and 6.
The platfrom can be used in outside with its specialized structre and their electricty can be linked for simultaneous cooking.
The parts of the platform can be moved outside with its special frame, which can either be put on top of the structure or directly on table.
accessories
storage
The structure for outside usage can be folded for easier storage. With the wheels, transportation becomes effortless.
