esos alarm
The esos guardian alarm was my final year project at university. Before beginning the ideation I did a research paper into the problems related to farming. During this, I found that farmers are 18 times more likely to have a fatal accident at work than the average worker in the UK (Defra, 2017) and that 65% of farmers work prominently alone.
The esos guardian aims to help by monitoring the farmers position and detecting knocks and falls that could potentially cause an injury to the user. If the farmer falls or is hit by an object the device will register this and use the built-in sim card to contact the emergency services as well as other team members or emergency contacts and provide them with the users GPS Location and Medical I.D. so that they can provide the care the user needs. A full print version of this project is available upon request.
I followed a rigorous and research lead design process which began with initial form finding sketches:
During the form development phase I extensively modelled the shape to find a form that provided a perfect blend of form and function. I began by modelling the basic overall shape in blue foam before moving on to focusing on a specific shape and exploring it more with further modelling.
Once I had decided on the shape I began to design the backplate and clipping mechanism of the device.
I mostly used 3D printing to test the form and function of the backplate mechanism. I aimed to design the backplate and device so that they would fit together seamlessly.
Once I had rigorously tested the shape and ergonomics and also designed the logo & branding I began working on the app and the watch interface. I build the interface and tested the app in Adobe XD.
I then created my final renders to show off the product.
