The Design

About Zhiwen Tragbares Thermometer

Zhiwen ist ein tragbares Thermometer für Kinder. Das Design besteht aus einem kleinen Pflaster und einem pillenförmigen Hauptgerät, in dem das Pflaster aufbewahrt wird. Das Pflaster misst 30 mal 40 mal 8 Millimeter und wird mit einer weichen Einweg-Klebeschicht unter dem Arm angebracht. Innerhalb von fünf bis zehn Sekunden erscheint der Temperaturwert auf dem Display des Hauptgeräts oder auf dem Smartphone. Integrierte Sensoren für Luftfeuchtigkeit und Luftqualität informieren die Eltern zudem über Allergene und Schadstoffe. Das Pflaster ist wasserabweisend und leicht zu reinigen. Für das Gehäuse werden ABS, medizinisches Silikon und Feinblech verwendet.

Production Technology
Advanced Bluetooth chip(can be detected from 40 m away)
Humidify and air-qualify sensors
Back-lid LCD display.
ABS, silicone(medical level), sheet metal as main materials for manufacturing the housing.
Design Challenge
The size, shape, and thickness of the patch are very critical for this project. When a designer starts this project, the designer needs to work with a hardware engineer (make sure he can get the smallest components and also meet the performance requirement) and mechanical engineer(create a special layout for the sensor, charging contacts, battery, and PCB within a tiny space).
Research
We researched competitive market (common spec of the competitors, price range, technology feature and so forth), we also visited the local hospitals and families to find the pain points of current temperature measurement tools. A compact, reliable, intuitive and accurate thermometer is what users want. After testing the working prototypes, we dive into the industrial design to make the products way more easy to use and also meet popular aesthetics.
Inspiration
The current temperature measurement tools include mercury thermometer, electronic thermometer, ear thermometer, and forehead thermometer are not user -friendly for the kids. They take a longer time for parents to set up and get accurate results by a couple minutes. Kids need a new convenient, sustainable, intuitive and accurate tool for better body temperature measurement. Also air quality and humidity are what parents concern about their kids.
Project Duration
The project started in June 2018 in Qinghuangdao, China and finished in June 2019 in Qinghuangdao, China.
Operation Flow
First of all, push the center button of the device, pick out the patch from the device, parents placed the thermometer under kid's arm by using disposable soft adhesive, user can choose use smartphone or the main device for checking the body temperature immediately (after 5-10 seconds), User can check the temperature data through app or the display on the device. the data of humidity and air quality will also be shown in the main device to protect kids from allergens and toxins.
