  • CHALLENGE
  • SOLUTION
  • IMPACT
  • MORE
  • - Through quick and iterative user probes we could find the 'sweet spot' for size and understand trade-offs early in the process. - Small enough to be portable but not too small to impact the therapy or credibility. A slim line, low profile form allowed for easier packing and offered more affordances for scalability. - From in-context interviews we observed that patients typically orientate their device to maximize hose length and optimize comfort and therapy - we aligned the outlet port and the UI on the same axis giving the product a clear and consistent direction; improving usability and making the most efficient use of the parts.

  • Current solutions either compromise on therapy and comfort or become a burden due to size and number of parts. This design is to remove this tradeoff by offering the most compact solution whilst maintaining the same therapy. It is one of our first direct to consumer offerings (B2C) meeting the standards of a new type of buying behavior in this space. It gives control back to the patient through an innovative modular design.

  • Complying with all applicable standards and regulations, user is protected from harm and the design safeguards against unintentional use. Color, material and finishing is a very important part in the design process. Major materials used: HPX4.
