Essay & Upgrade Pretotype

Based on my research I start with writing my 5-page essay for a half day. The other half I used for upgrading my pretotype, which includes now latitude & longitude values. With these two additional values, it is possible to map the problem to their specific location.

Press button one: if there is a physical strain. That could include help with shower, going to bed and so on. Situations that can no longer be done with the own physical strength (Approach to problem 1: Physical strain)

Press button two: if there is a need to communicate. That could be a wish for a conversation with family, friends or care-takers. In situations of feeling lonely or separated. But I don’t have to. (Approach to problem 2: Loneliness or separation)

Press button three: if there is a need for further explanations. That could include difficulties with the TV or radio, organize dates and personal daily routine. (Approach to problem 3: Mental overload and forgetfulness)

The main goal of this tracked data is to get a visualization of a personal and individual daily routine. Where and when come specific needs up? Which kind of needs? Especially stored data over a longer time period could show some repeating problems and patterns. That should clear out in which direction my final project could go.

With the actual setup, it is possible to get an exact problem time schedule of a personal specific target person. But with that, I still don’t know where these problems came up? For that, I implement two more parameters: longitude and latitude. With these two additional values, it is possible to map the problem to their specific location.

The actual setup of the pretotpye allows to get an exact problem time-schedule of a specific person. Including with the longitude and latitude values, it's also possible to map the problem to their specific location.

With this tracked data can I get a visualization of a personal and individual daily routine based on the three predifned problem-areas. Where and when come specific needs up? Which kind of needs? Especially stored data over a longer time period could show some repeating problems and patterns. That should clear out in which direction my final project could go.
