CLIMBIT

Air at high altitudes is less dense, reducing its convective capability and overall heat transfer capacity. Therefore, all electronics that rely on natural or forced convection to dissipate heat will experience increased air and component temperature rise for the same amount of power at higher altitudes. Therefore, the PCB has been designed with sufficient space between components to prevent high voltage arcs. The LEDs use blue and red light wavelengths to produce precisely the absorption of chlorella algae, to provide optimal amounts of oxygen.

CLIMBIT

Climbit is designed to be stylish and compact. Climbers will only require one 2 litres Climbit, rather than approximately seven 3 litre oxygen tanks. It tackles the problem of poor management of oxygen equipment as it is linked to an oxygen saturation reader, providing a flow of oxygen when your body requires it. It has a strap to prevent it from being dropped, which can be disastrous for mountaineers. It also means that at a slow pace or in crowds you have an unlimited amount of oxygen.

Puff

Medical compliance is drastically low in children as they feel self-conscious and embarrassed using their inhalers in public. This design aims to combat that. Spacers are recommended for children, however, they are too bulky to be taken everywhere. This collapsible design suspends the medicine particles until the child breathes in, making it easier to get the medication into the lungs, and then can be collapsed away into a keyring in the form of an apple. The inhaler is inspired by a giraffe and has a speaker that will give clear verbal breathing instructions. There is an LED which will illuminate red when the canister is running low.

Puff App

The app enables children and parents to manage their asthma. The app provides data on inhaler usage for health checks, sends reminders and understands triggers. It also has a GPS tracker so the inhalers can be quickly found. To instil a healthy habit of using the inhaler, an app-based game was conceptualised to connect with the inhaler and provide positive reinforcement.

Exercise Kit for Children with ASDs

Children with autism are more than twice as likely to be overweight and nearly five times as likely to be obese as their typical peers. Many people on the spectrum have heightened senses, plus a fondness for routine, which makes them averse to new tastes and textures and susceptible to unhealthy eating patterns. And motor and social impairments, along with an affinity for screens, can limit physical activity.
This design is an exercise kit with a robot to monitor skill development and provide encouragement. It also includes a set of wooden dumbbells, balloons (and a tool to blow them up), exercise dice, an easy catch ball, and a bat and smaller ball. The kit has been developed to improve the motor skills and hand-eye coordination of children with ASDs and increase the amount of aerobic exercise the child does. The equipment is adaptable with different textures and colours to suit the child's sensory profile and modifications such as a ball with easy to grip rubber and holes to increase surface area making the ball easier to catch.
