Research into Disaster ResponseMy research into disaster relief healthcare indicated that there are two main problems. One, expectably, is money, and the even distribution of money and resources. The other major problem is that the concentrated nature of current healthcare solutions- things like hospital ships, relief trucks, and ambulances, lead to dangerously long waits for medical care.

Context and FunctionalityBecause the triage bike is so much cheaper than a traditional ambulance or first-aid truck, many more could be purchased for the same price, meaning that there are more distribution points for healthcare, leading to shorter lines. Additionally, the bicycle would be able to travel over more rugged terrain than traditional options.

Research into Dairy ProductionMy group and I visited Durfee Farms, a midsized dairy farm in upstate New York, and interviewed its owner. Following this, we visited Yoder Dairy, a bottling and distribution facility and interviewed its manager. We also researched the current state of the industry and political climate in our region.
We discovered that for years, Chobani had sourced milk from local farms, and when the business left for Idaho in 2012, that these suppliers were left without a market. Additionally, we learned that when these farms supplied a larger distributor, the identity of the farm was lost in translation.
We theorized that by designing a milk bottle geared towards local milk delivery, and by including an individual farm’s branding on that bottle, we could empower small upstate dairy farms.

Research into Hospital Work EnvironmentsMy group and I began researching the adverse effects of stress and fatigue on clinical functions. Having established a connection between fatigue and serious errors, we looked to the new technology of Affective Computing to envision a solution.

Developing the User InterfaceKnowing that we wanted to apply the technology of affective computing to analyze hospital workers, my group created a user interface for how a consultant or counselor at the hospital would access and make sense of the information. We created the wireframe in Axure, and tested it with our peers for feedback.
The final version allows for the analyst to view a single worker’s state over time, or to analyze larger trends by a number of criteria. Additionally, there is an “alert” feature for staff who the computer decides are unable to work effectively.
Thank you!
