Smartwatch Koen de Krab Koen is a smartwatch especially designed for children having a hard time living with a heart defect. Koen measures the heart rate of the wearer and reacts on abnormal values. When a heart rate is measured above or below a certain level, Koen will distract the wearer by presenting a game. The game is designed in such a way that the biometric input of the user controls the game. The project has followed a user-centred-design process, in which the needs, wants, and limitations of end users of a product are very important to make the product succeed. Therefore, a user test was executed in order to evaluate the principle that had been created for KOEN with the end user, the children with CHD. The user testing has proven that the overall principle of the KOEN smart watch is good. The software and hardware design are sufficient. Children liked to play, to wear and interact with it. The interviewed children and parents were very enthusiastic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5ngZXEy0BQ

Formula Student Team Delft

 

DUT15 is an extremely lightweight, 4wd electric race car.  The goal is to win the competitions the team of 50+ engineers enters by designing, building, testing and validating a formula-style race car in only 9 months. DUT15 was the most successful car in the history of the team and won Formula Student United Kingdom and Formula Student Germany.

 

As one of the two industrial design engineers, I focussed on the ergonomics of the car. According to the rules, both a P5 as well as a P95 need to be able to drive the car comfortably.   Besides, we got to design and produce the parts connected to this: the seat, the dashboard, the steering wheel and the head restraint. The laminating work was extended with the production of the monocoque and aerodynamic package  Close communication with the interferring parts (Chassis and Electronics) was essential for the detailing of the design.

Medflow

 

South Africa’s healthcare consist of two separate systems; the private system and the public system. The vast majority of the population is served by the public healthcare while this sector receives only 45% of the budget.

You can imagine that the low amount of health professionals per 1000 citizens ensures a crowded public healthcare sector.

 

Medflow provides a public service which serves as an entrance level to the local primary healthcare. It is  a platform that will serve as the link between the patients and the public health clinics. It aims at solving problems regarding waiting queues, poor healthcare accessibility, medication in-adherence and administrative burdens. for healthcare professionals.

 

Medflow is a project that was part of the #CoCreateMyCity-challenge that was held in Johannesburg, South-Africa. during the House of the Future. The team consists of 3 South-African and 3 Dutch students.

Green Guide Delft

 

The Green Guide Delft wants to show you the bright side of life! In Delft, a city of technology with many bright minds, there is so much going on in the field of sustainability. The Green Guide Delft shows you projects, plans, tips & tricks, initiatives and activities that aim to make the world a better place, starting in Delft.

 

The Green Guide was initiated by the Sustainability Community Delft, and content came from all the members of this initiative. I was responsible for putting the guide together, the lay-out, keeping in contact with the publisher and making the first Green Guide Delft happen. 500 copies were distributed amongst students, TU Delft staff and other interested people
