Week2 - Project 1 Reflection











This week, i chose hand tremor from the disabled market because Parkinson' s disease is very common in our life and finding a way to help the parkinson's patients is very necessary and urgent.
I generated three concepts which are water bottle, detergent and pill box.
 
Here are the  suggestions from my tutor Tom and two peers Zhaozhao li and Olivia Qiu yuan Lin.
 
The first concept is a sports water bottle because parkinson's patients are always feel thirsty during the night. There is a tube in the middle and you can slide it to lock and unlock.  However, it's no difference from the current water bottle and not obvious to solve the problem of hand tremor.
 
The second concept is the detergent. You push to the right and a cup of detergent will fall down.
It can work for top load washing machine and the detergent can not be everywhere even for the hand tremor person.  However, it is not designed for the front load washing machine.
 
The third concepts, you shake the bottle the pills will come out but you can not let just have one pill at one time.  The second pill box is a pull up and down mechanism but it seems too complex.
 
Finally, i will go the third concept- pill box and think about this further...
