The Future of Welfare Tech
A welfare tool for our future elder generation. Welfare technology, by current standards, segregates people into categories of ability. Collaborating with market leader Safemate, super-user Trygve Dischler Børresen and two public care providers in Norway, I presented a solution that gives our future elder generation familiar interaction, greater independence, more power over increased automation and surveillance, and contextual actions while remaining safer both in and out of the house.

3D Printing & CNC Milling
3D PRINTING & CNC:
Careful consideration in relation to UX/UI convinced me a watch case closer to tonneau shapes would best accommodate text and shapes. Numerous size models were made and tested to ensure comfort and legibility.

Contextual interaction
Integrating wearable technology with sensors around the house allows for contextual actions like remembering to stay hydrated or a reminder that you have taken your daily pills.
Safety features
Find home
In case you get lost the watch can help you find home
Heart rate monitoring
Allows the watch to alert you to seek medical help in case of arrhythmia detected in one of your ventricles.
Fall detection
Falls are a significant factor contributing to reduced ability to care for yourself when aging. Care providers can be notified with exact location.
All-in-one
Allowing you to put life saving features in one familiar object instead of introducing new unfamiliar objects for each technology
