Kody and Finn

Heart On A Sleeve is a fashionable smart wearable designed for people with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). People with POTS often feel faint— POTS affects blood flow— and they may need a reminder to sit down. HOAS has imbedded heart rate monitor that detects when the user’s heart rate exceeds the normal range and alerts the user to change their position by sending vibration signals on their arm.

The H.A.N.D.

By Hide and Christopher

Thesis.

The H.A.N.D. is a 3d-printable combination wrist, knuckle, and finger brace, used to assist in the struggles that come with hypermobility disorders. People with hypermobility disorders experience a great deal of pain when performing fine motor activities like writing, drawing, or typing, and this project has assisted greatly in alleviating that pain. The H.A.N.D. consists of four sections: a wrist cuff, two hand plates, and several finger braces separate to the primary system. All four sections reduce mobility in their respective parts to a level approximately equal to a non-hypermobile person.
