CONCEPT 1 - THERMAL BLOCKS TO PROVIDE HEAT. THE BLOCKS GO ONTO THE HEAT AND WARM UP. DUE TO THE THERMO DENSITY OF THE MATERIAL IT HOLDS HEAT AND SLOWLY RELEASES IT OUT AGAIN.

Smart Laundry

The problem Users clothes washing habits are lazy and disorganized, resulting in washing taking up more of the users time than necessary.

Research Clothes Washing and Laundry Brief

Brainmap - focus on clothes washing and laundry

Mix colours and whites

Task Analysis

How can we embody physical interactions with products that mirror the virtual experience and connectivity demonstrated by smartphones and other connected devices? Design that a product that combines the networking opportunities of the Internet of Things with the physical design of a product to enable household chores or tasks of everyday living to be more effectively and efficiently completed. The design process for the product should show consideration of a selection of the following contextual statements: – Consumers have ever increasing expectations of responsiveness – Fluid Experiences by bridging multiple devices and functions – Simplified everyday mundane tasks – Reducing the brain cognitive load and task switching overhead – Making life easier, happier more fluid and less stressful – Users want more time to focus on themselves; mainly on what they enjoy and prefer to do – Greater remote monitoring and control – Focusing expenses in areas that really matter

CURA

Key findings:

To help ease the time and pains of in bed bathing

- Hand strap is beneficial to support the weight of product. - Warm air felt cold when angled against the skin. - Softer sponge or smooth plastic felt nicest against the skin. - Bathing in bed is strenuous to lift and move the user. - Its difficult to know how much pressure to apply to clean.

Key technology: non alcohol based, paraben free, PH balanced waterless cleaning fluid

Proposal

Experience prototyping

‘CURA’ is an easy to use, hand held, portable waterless cleaning device that aids elderly carers in cleaning older adults.

Find a way to reduce the strain on the NHS Proposition

‘No touch’ disposables reduces the spread of infection, while the warm air dries the skin ensuring the recipient doesn’t get cold. This creates a more enjoyable bathing experience and reduces the need for the carer to towel dry after washing.

A new design is needed to aid elderly carers when bed bathing. It should reduce the strain required and minimise spread of infection, whilst simultaneously providing a more enjoyable experience for the carer and recipient. By utilising waterless cleaning, the task becomes easier, encouraging more frequent use, keeping the recipient clean and healthy and out of hospital.

Benefits to the NHS would be reduced hospital admissions, by increasing the elderly carers awareness of their own health, and through the encouragement of self care, reducing the need for tedious nurse visits.
