Student Name: Dane Hart
Project Name: OSSO Wearable Vital Sign Monitor
Course: Product Design Senior Capstone
Instructor: Carlye Lauff
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Medical staff and patients in emergency rooms are overstimulated due to the cacophony of alarms from medical devices, potentially leading to auditory desensitization. Dane Hart wanted to discover a way to communicate patient conditions more meaningfully while reducing noise in the ER.
Their design Osso is a wearable device for both patients and clinicians. Featuring an E-Ink touch display, the nurse's device enables them to monitor and record patient conditions without having to worry about short battery lives. Additionally, vibrotactile and visual alerts ensure that alerts are readily noticeable no matter the nurse's setting. The patient's wearable device reduces the likelihood of false alarms, shows vitals, identifies trends, and monitors heart rate, temperature, and blood oxygen levels.

ABOUT THE COURSE
Students synthesize and apply design and research techniques to a senior capstone project. Projects can be student-directed or client-sponsored and are intended to demonstrate competency in fundamental design skills, communicating and documenting design processes, and the ability to apply design processes to develop new products and services while addressing real-world constraints. These are individual, self-directed design projects.
