Team Prism is one of the Innovation Space teams at The Design School. We worked on the project sponsored by Johnson and Johnson. Our team is comprised of an Industrial design student, a graphic design student, an engineering student and a business student. We choose to focus on solving the disease-carrying vectors and environmental agressors. During the semester, PRISM spent months researching, brainstorming, ideating (repeat as needed) to come up with effective, innovative solutions to the problem of mosquitoes and air pollution. While our initial research centered around preventing the spread of mosquito-borne disease, toward the end, we found that perhaps we could tackle both issues.
PROBLEM STATEMENT :: Protection against spreading of vector caused diseases like malaria, dengue, Zika etc.
FUNCTION :: Adamor detects the presence of the mosquitoes and alerts the user and activates the product by giving noise and LED indication. It charges the human body very lightly which will create an electric field and keep the mosquitoes away from the user.

Sound and LED Indicator Metal housing
Metal touching the ground to activate the product
PROBLEM STATEMENT :: Protecting personal space from disease causing vectors.
FUNCTION :: Moscape is a Biomimicry concept inspired from carnivorous plants like Pitcher Plant. It is focused to be a functional decorative product. It can be used indoors and outdoors. It attracts the mosquitoes towards it and allows the suction cup to trap the mosquitoes inside it. It uses various attarcting agent like the Pitcher plant. For example, water like droplets, bright colors, sticky surfaces.
Sticky surface to trap the mosquitoes
Artificial or real plants to attract and trap mosquitoes Suction cup sucks in the mosquitoes nearby
Artificial water like droplets acting as attracting agents
PROBLEM STATEMENT :: Protecting babies from environmental pollution and disease causing mosquitoes.
FUNCTION :: Buba is a baby product that could attach to various baby products like baby walker, car seats and strollers. It is based on the concept of origami so that the product can take various shapes and fit other products well.
Folds/unfolds to open/close the quarter if the dome. See through net is used as the material
Transparent covering
Air Purifier attached to the product itself
Flexible ring for a better fit
