AI and Computer Learning Concept

During our discussion, Delia proposed her initial thoughts and this is what we based our concept upon. Delia spoke about a recent campaign she saw about antibiotics and how we should only take them when required or this could render them ineffective in situations were antibiotics are needed. We decided to think of a concept based on this and this meant we would be working within the healthcare industry.

The idea is to create a device that checks the state of someones immune system. This would be useful for the elderly and those with immunity disorders. The device would ensure the user will get the most useful treatment for their issue and not require many doses of antibiotics to get rid of. It could also be used at home for people to self manage their condition and keep an eye on the state of their immune system to act accordingly. If it is not functioning well, they can either see a doctor or take precautions until there is an improvement. The tech could initially roll out into carehomes, hospitals, gp surgeries and extreme cases of immunodefficientcy.

There may be some simalar technolgies but not exact devices. One diagnostic device that could be compared is a blood sugar level tester. This technolgy and device theory could be used and applied to the immune system test.

The idea would involve many business areas. There would need to be UX and UI designers to make sure people are able to use the device themselves. Product designers for the actual device. Engineers and medical scientists. Graphic designers for the logos, promotional materials and packaging. It would involve a lot of cooperation from various departments.

Biotechnology Concept

While identifing key trends in bio-digital technologies, one common we saw was genetically modifiying a pre-existing thing. It was to always to create something completely new, just something better or more sustainable. Through this, we thought what if designer babies became common and more mainstream. We then set out to design a UI for someone to create their perfect chil However, this does raise some issues. If genetic modification became extreamely popular, we would end up with a civilization of people purposefully designed and most likely without flaws. To those who opted out of modification, this may see them being excluded from society for their imperfections and risk to disease. This project would be open for various artists to collaborate on. From UX and UI designers for the program itself to bioengineers for the actual production part. Concept: The target group would primarily be those who are planning to have a child. They could then begin the planning and designing...

Smart Technologies

Smart technology is something ever present in society. We are seeing regular objects being enhanced technologically and being dubbed "smart" products. One such example is Hapifork, a smart fork. Yes. A mundane object such as a fork got the smart treatment. But how exaclty do you improve on a kitchen utensil? You get it to tell you off if youre eating too fast. The Hapifork sees to help stop the pain and suffering of eating too fast. Using sensors, the fork will vibrate and light up signalling the fork is being used to rapidly and means the user is eating too fast. The article i read was published august 2018 and currently in 2019, i am unable to access an official page without a 404 error. https://www.geek.com/tech/hapifork-is-a-smart-fork-for-your-dumb-mouth-1730322/ An electric toothbrush is something most of us had. It was a motorised enhancement that actually improved the object meaning that brushing teeth is much more efficiant. Little things like timers and pressu...

BioTechnology

Biotechnology is the meeting of human and computer design. Based on biology, it can include things like genetic modification and bionics. It has been used to genetically modify crops in the agricultural industry and create highly responsive prosthetics for amputees. These practices have been adopted by artists to create some unique pieces of art. One artist in particular has created various body modification using biotechnology. Stellarc has had an ear surgically implanted into his left arm that hears and trasmits sound. In an article published by Dezeen, i found a quote rather interesting. It was "Negroponte believes we've now reached a stage when the natural and the artificial have blended."(Howarth.D, 2017). Whilst it is true that we have adapted to technology in our everyday lives, certain things still spark debates. https://www.google.com/search?q=dna+editing&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-ab.  Google (2018)  This are the top stories that appea...
