Hey Guys. Ok so i have decided to go with a stress device as my measurement product. This will incorperate two individual measurement values in order to come up with an accurate reading for ones stress level. The will include an heart rate monitor or E.C.G. (Ecocardigraph) located at the thumb (represented by the heart in the sketch) which will pick up the pulse in the thumb and produce a reading. The other measurement will be moisture content which will incorperate a vapo-meter. This determines the amount of perspiration of the body in the hand region and will then be transmitted with the E.C.G. to bring about an overall measurement for ones stress levels. Sorry these are not rendered versions, however i think it is best to get the idea across first before thinking about colour. The handle has also been developed for an ergonomic grip and feel for user-friendliness.

Hi Kieran,
I think this measurement is going to face some problem with the grip...(different sizes)However, I think it is a good concept!!It looks easy to use, worth exploring!!

hi Kiera,
i think you have done a couple of research about the feature of the device that you make to measure stress. maybe can think about other shape which is more extraordinary perhaps? like a flat screen that you only have to touch it. or a device that can measure stress level by knowing how a person throw thing on the device ^^.
i thing it's just my imaginasion hehehe...
coa ussualy i threw things when i get stress.
anyway its a good concept that you come up with and a good reseach as well.

Yo Kieran~
The idea of using moisture content incorporated with vapo-meter to measure stress level is a great idea. For me when i get stressed my leg starts to shake none stop lol and my plum are usually sweaty,
My be you could also think about incorporate some sort of device that can measure you shakiness on your feet for example times/ min to determine the stress level
well thats only a suggestion ,
but from your concept sketches and idea i can seen u've put a lot of thoughts and research into it ~!
great work mate

Hey mate,
Ok well its hard to read your drawing because of the resolution (probably should have used a scanner instead of camera), but you have explained it in your text. Using heart rate and perspiration levels are good indicaters to measure stress but im thinking with something that is handheld wouldnt holding the device make that area more sweaty then usual? Where does the device contact skin to read heart rate? It may be useful to research some medical information to find where perspiration is most prevelent in stressful situations so you can find the ideal position on the body for your device. Good work matey!

i think you should explore more organis or free flowing designs which might givve the user a certain liberating feel when using it???

The form could be almost anything - you only have to grasp it for a little while to get a reading right?
Are we aiming for calmer people? If so, a calming shape (whatever that might be!) could be worth exploring.
