We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer about their original and creative design work. is an award-winning creative designer, that makes our world a better place with their original works.
("") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work . Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
: Pregnant women only sense up to a third of fetal activity, hence they fret over ostensibly reduced movement, releasing stressful chemicals into the womb. This is said to hinder fetal neuro-physiological development and can result in autism, lower adaptive learning skills, and chronic cardiovascular disorders; when all the mother really needs is a way of knowing that the unborn child is behaving normally. The foetus will be able to hear and recognize the mother's voice from within by week 18. Studies show that mothers who sing a particular song repeatedly throughout pregnancy, can use the same tune to pacify a crying baby. This means that adaptive learning indeed starts in utero, so a mild extent of education can be stimulated through music & stories, and gentle tapping on the belly; and via a contextual screen you can observe the responsive expressions and reflexes of the foetus.
: 6 months.
: mothers-to-be, her kins and her next-of-kins.
: it's wearable, it's textile-based, it's approachable, lightweight, interactive, portable, improves sonographers' problem with muscular pain from constant scanning, improves paternal bonding which keeps the mother at peaceful state of mind.
: The fact that the ultrasound is wearable, user-friendly and interactive. This also provides an advantage for the sonographer / midwife to avoid the risk of muscular stress caused by scanning dozens of patients in a day.
: The stretchable LED monitor and haptic keypad reinforces proximity by bringing the focus back onto the belly, moreover emphasizing the iconic gesture of embrace. These technologies advocate pushing of the boundaries of wearable technology where the user can in fact appreciate the unique attributes they behold.
: - neurological studies in benefits of maternal bonding and enhancements. - Anthropometric data of pregnant women's abdominal circumferences, as well as the rate of circumferential increments. - Technological research in the fields of: e-textile advances, flexible PCBs, flexible LEDs, ultrasound technology.
: - the integration of flexible technologies. - acceptance from medical professionales in regards to having a domestic ultrasound. - constraints of ultrasonic usage.
