Summary/Discussion

Possible Improvements:

Some design flaws on the Spree fitness headband include the temperature scale on the app, the design of the headband itself, and the range of the sensor. Recommendations to compensate for these design flaws include creating a sensor to accurately read temperature and instead of the current scale based off a qualitative range. In order to improve the design of the headband itself, the material of the headband could be changed in order to better absorb sweat and make the headband more attractive, instead of a removable block sensors the sensors could be embedded across the headband for more accurate readings, the shape could be changed for a more aesthetic appeal, and different sizes of the headband could be made available for a better fit among customers. Another way to improve customer satisfaction would be to create a universal app that allows both android and iphone users to utilize this health utility. A final way to improve the Spree headband would be to design the sensors in the headband so that they can store data and not always have to be within range of the phone.

Target Population and Need

Target Population

The target population of the Insight Contacts is active individuals whom spend time in sunlight.

Need

The eye is very sensitive to ultraviolet rays from the sun. People take care of their skin with sunscreen, but often the eye itself is still unprotected. So the Insight Contacts adjust color to give the eye protection from harsh light. Many people that spend time in the sun also have problems with hydration. The need is for a hydration monitoring device that is not obtrusive or easy for someone to do at home. The Insight Contacts will have a sensor that tests for sodium levels so that a part of the contact will change color when its user is reaching unsafe hydration levels.

Design

Description of image


Description: The Insight Contacts is more than just a contact. It is designed for athletes or basically anyone who spends most of their time outside. It includes sensors that detect the UV rays and adjust the contact lens accordingly so it protects damaging your eyes. It also has the ability to detect dehydration by sensing the amount of sodium in your tear duct area and analyzing it for its concentration. If the concentration is high enough, the contact lens will turn red towards the bottom of the eye signaling that you are dehydrated.
