Discover the Right Problem

Contextual Interviewing

Brainstorming useful purposes for the Google Glass led to the problem space of emergency medical aid. My team was able to conduct a few interviews of medical professionals in order to gain better insight on the issues and needs surrounding CPR.

PROBLEM - Emergency situations requiring CPR could happen at anytime. People that are not prepared to perform in high-stress situations like that could lead to uninformed or improper techniques of CPR which lead to even more dangerous health-related situations.

Design the Right Solution

Brainstorming

Knowing the technological capabilities we could leverage with the Google Glass, my team brainstormed on a potential solution that would walk a user through the steps of CPR in real time, ensuring that the count and pace is in proper range.

Our main user is anyone with life support training that doesn't practice these skills regularly and would need a reinforcement when responding to an emergency, i.e. life guards, airplane staff, teachers, etc.

SOLUTION - Provide live feedback to assist in an emergency situation by tracking the movements of the person performing CPR utilizing technology afforded by the Google Glass.

Prototyping

We white-boarded some lo-fi workflows, then translated it into a mid-fidelity mockup in Axure (as pictured below). I also worked on the logo design using Illustrator.

Default Screen

The default screen preps you for the first step of CPR, the pump.

Step 1: Pump

By detecting your motion, this screen aids in the pump phase, in which the rate changes color based on accuracy of speed, and the counter increases for each pump

Step 2: Blow

This screen aids in the blow phase, in which it displays how many breaths were given and how long each breath was.
