About Blink Hjemmemedisinsk enhet
Blink er en hjemmemedisinsk enhet designet for å måle vitale tegn og utføre grunnleggende medisinske tester. Den kompakte enheten måler blodtrykk og kroppstemperatur, og den støtter blod-, urin- og spyttprøver. Blink veileder brukeren gjennom hvert trinn av datainnsamling og rapportering av resultater til en lege, som kan sende tilbakemelding i retur. Brukerprofiler gjør det mulig for flere familiemedlemmer å bruke samme enhet. Pålitelige hjemmedata støtter diagnostisering og reduserer tid, kostnader og energi knyttet til rutinemessig testing. Blink måler 200 mm x 130 mm x 160 mm.

- Production Technology
- Blink is based on before and after comparisons and time-based tests that can be easily analyzed by below technologies.
Viscoelastic Focusing (VEF)
Spot Infrared Thermometer
Oral Fluid Urinalysis Testing - Design Challenge
- One of the design challenges was to determine the product’s core elements and to organize them in the most accessible and compact way. Hygiene, guidance, and communication were the main considerations. The device also had to be suitable for home use and guide the user through each stage of use.
- Research
- My original impetus for the idea was to empower the user to be more proactive about his health rather than being reactive. In order to increase the quality of healthcare, I tried to find alternative solutions for better and healthier communication between the patient and the physician. I have visited biochemical labs of hospitals to decide the best vitals for home tests. I had a chance to speak with physicians and biochemists and discuss my project aim. After the design process, I did interviews and user testing with end-users for seamless user experience.
- Inspiration
- Blink is a smart monitoring device that shifts the experience of performing medical tests from long lines and long waits in hospitals to a simple and unobtrusive task undertaken in the comfort and convenience of home. In the current healthcare system, a great deal of time, energy and money is expended to receive detailed health information. Blink aims to change that.
- Project Duration
- The project started in February 2016 in Ankara and finished in June 2016, was exhibited in Science at Home Exhibition in Ankara and Turkey Design Week Exhibition in Istanbul.
- Operation Flow
- Through its straightforward, compact design, Blink measures blood pressure, body temperature and can be used to perform blood, urine and saliva tests. With the easy-to-use interface and the ability to set up profiles, multiple family members can use the same device. It is simple, userfriendly, multifunctional and hygienic.
