Back to Parent

Historical Case

Our group of 4 includes 2  parents, so we were able to broaden our perspective to products that could be helpful for new parents. When brainstorming a product with IoT capabilities, we landed on multiple ideas. At the end of the day, we wanted to build a prototype that could be useful to new parents, and we landed on the product idea described above.  

There is already a plethora of products that exist that can achieve some of the goals we want to achieve, such as thermometers and temperature sensors. However, there are few products that can connect to the internet and alert a parent when the temperature and bath levels are appropriate. We were inspired by the real problems new parents face, class discussions (particularly David Rose's writings on "enchanted products"), and by the existing set of products that attempt to solve this problem.
