Needfinding: This was essential for pinpointing a problem area. We conducted needfinding through the following: - Surveys - Interviews - Clinic visits - Observations - Field Research - Secondary Research The above needfinding was conducted individually be each team member to collect unique data. Each member then pitched their needfinding to the other members and from there we were able to identify problem areas.

Our Stakeholders: Nursing Students – DCU/TCD Medical Physicists – MISA St.James Hospital Occupational Therapist – Parkinson’s Research Grandparents – All Team Members Nursing home – Owner R&D Engineer – Stryker, Cork Care Worker – MISA St.James Hospital Physiotherapists

through a method of corrective forces.” “To dampen tremors through a method of corrective forces.” Tremor Frequency Monitor What is Equilibrium? A user friendly watch that reduces the intensity of a person’s hand tremor through the use of corrective forces. Gives back the ability to perform everyday tasks that had become difficult or impossible due to the involuntary movements caused by tremors. It is designed to provide subtlety as this is of upmost importance to the user. Battery Life Heart Rate Monitor Loudspeakers Fashionable Discrete

Beam – Pollycarbon Loudspeakers Demonstration Setup: A cantilever made of pollycarbon was manufactured. Loudspeakers and an eccentric motor are then attached. Simulations of experimental/human tremors were recorded. The loudspeakers were then set up in an interfering pattern in order to bring any vibration to equilibrium. Motor w/ Mass
