Outcome


LINKID

Concept:

Linkid is a connected product focusing on offering parents and kids a close-knit connection, specifically on emotion changes. By having the Linkid smart sticker sensor on hand/wrist, parents are able to monitor the emotional changes of their children.

Designer process:

We have designed several scenarios of usability of the product, the product is able to indicate children's emotion status including peaceful, upset, angry, ecstasy, etc. When children having such emotion changes, parents are able to detect it immediately and interact with it.

Hardware:

In the design process of the product, we will use following sensors:

Bio-sensor

Pulse Sensor

With the support of these two types of sensors, we are able to detect children's emotional status with high accuracy. All the data will be processed in the cloud, which allows us to keep the size of the product small enough to be attached on children's body without causing any comfort issues. 

The power source will be designed as solar powered.

Software:

The product will be supported by an cloud based algorithm. The Algorithm will keep update itself after getting more and more information from users, which can be considered as a process of crowd sourcing. 

Danger:

We consider this product as dangerous since it might make children can not deal with their own emotional changes. For instance, temper management as well as getting out of sorrow. All these skills are necessary for people in the society and most people will learn these through their childhood experiences. However, Linkid has the potential to take this opportunity away from the users.
