Die Ontwerp

Oor Nighty Night Slaaphulp-polsband

Nighty Night is 'n draagbare polsband wat ontwerp is om slaapkwaliteit te verbeter. Nighty Night kombineer tradisionele Chinese akupunktuurdruk met moderne tegnologie deur 'n lae-frekwensie polsstroom te gebruik om akupunte op die pols te stimuleer. Die stroom vloei tussen twee elektrodekussings en skep eweredige stimulasie oor die area tussen hulle, sodat die presiese akupunt nie opgespoor hoef te word nie. Die gebruiker sit die band aan voor slaaptyd en stel die intensiteit en duur in. Die band word in 'n houer gebêre wat die toestel oplaai, en die elektroniese deel kan verwyder word vir skoonmaak.

Unieke Eienskappe: Nighty Night is a wearable wristband that combines traditional Chinese acupressure with modern technology by using a low-frequency current to stimulate certain acupoints that can improve sleep quality. It does not require the user’s active involvement but easily solves the problem of insomnia.
Afmetings & Verpakking: wristband 240mm*35mm*5mm
Box 255mm*50mm*40mm
Etikette: wearable, sleep, technology, traditional Chinese medicine
Produksietegnologie: The technology I am investigating is low-frequency pulse current. The pulse is delivered through electrode pads that are taped to the patient’s skin.
Since people's body size are different, so there is also slightly different for the location of the same acupoint. The technology can easily resolve the problem by creating even stimulation between the area of two electrode pads.
Ontwerpuitdaging: The technology I am investigating is low-frequency pulse current, which has a parallel in a machine used for cancer patients. The principle is to relieve pain by creating mild electrical pulses to improve local circulation and relax muscles. The existing product applies this technology to people who experience joint or muscle pain for a variety of reasons. The pulse is delivered through electrode pads (positive and negative) that are taped to the patient’s skin. The technology creates even stimulation in the current between the two poles. I am investigating whether this technology can stimulate the particular acupoints that help people sleep without requiring the user to pinpoint the precise location of those acupoints.
In support of my theory that this technology can be used to stimulate acupoints and improve sleep, I found a thesis written by a graduate student at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The student compared the effects of acupuncture (stimulated acupoints by needle) and pulse current instruments on sleep quality for people with depressive insomnia. The result showed that both methods improved sleep quality, and there was no significant difference in the degree of improvement between the two groups. In that way, I can use this technology into my design.
Navorsing: In traditional Chinese medicine, insomnia can be resolved by using acupressure. The pressure is applied to a certain acupoint that can improve sleep quality.
There are about 19 acupoints on our body that can improve sleep quality, and the most effective sleep acupoints are located at the wrist and calf.
Since the wrist acupoints are more concentrated and accessible than those on the calf, I decided to design a wristband that can stimulate them for improved sleep.
Inspirasie: According to the National Alliance On Mental Illness, over one-third of Americans report difficulty sleeping.
There are many existing sleep aids, such as music and incense, but they often work for some people and not for others. Some sleeping aids need active efforts on the part of the user, but not all people can stick to the program.
So I wanted to find a scientific method that does not require the user’s active involvement but easily solves the problem of insomnia.
Projekduur: Started in September 2018 and finished in May 2019.
Bedryfsvloei: The user basically uses it before they go to bed. The user opens the housing of the wristband when he/she is ready to sleep, puts on the band, and sets the intensity of the electric stimulation and duration, before switching on the device. The next morning the user removes the wrist strap and puts it back into the box, where it will be automatically charged.
The electronic part can be easily taken out from the wristband and clean or change the band.
