5. Research “SMOKING THROUGH STRESS”
The Research is focussed to improve community health through technology. The main problem area taken into account here is:
“SMOKING THROUGH STRESS”

6. Concept and Idea Generation
“We have taken Goal Directed Design to approach this problem. This methodology puts users in the middle of the design process and places huge emphasis on understanding the requirement of the user and then convert those requirements to tasks and ultimately into a usable product.”

7. Background Research Context Aware devices
“A system is context-aware if it uses context to provide relevant information and/or services to the user, where relevancy depends on the user’s task.” (Dey, 2001)
Quantified Self
“The concept of incorporating technology into aspects of daily life” (Stern, 2015)
(Nicotrax.com, 2016)
(Spire, 2016)
Stern, C. (2015). The wearable tech market could reach 385 million people and change how we 'consume and use information'. [online] Business Insider Australia. Available at:

8. Goal Directed Design Goal Directed Design Design Test Refinement
Research
Goals here refer to the users requirement to achieve an objective where as task refers to steps that help them to achieve these goals.
This method is considered here because the emphasis is on human usage and their attraction towards the device.

10. Body Storming
Leaving a person prone to stress increases the chances of smoking significantly.
Monitoring is required to prevent a user from smoking.
Tracking the number of cigarettes is necessary for a user to realise the total figures over a month. Each stick adds to the big picture.
It is necessary to evaluate the surroundings, peer pressure at home or work makes a person more susceptible.

11. Designs and Prototypes
“We worked upon bringing together technological designs to empower people and encourage them to use it regularly to combat stress and smoking”

14. Smoke-Free
“ Smart ring device that sits comfortably on users fingers and alerts by vibrating.”
14 | Bina0004, vina2679

15. Smoke-Free Highlights Reasons for Failure (Feedbacks from users)
Ring design to make users feel light and comfortable.
Haptics to distract users when they smoke cigarettes.
Sensors applied: Heart rate monitor, heat sensor, smoke sensor, sweat analysis, display users with all the relevant information
Reasons for Failure (Feedbacks from users)
Impression on users finger after prolonged use.
Too small size of the display.
Inability to distinguish between modes, example: cooking, causing false alert.
Inability to detect properly in windy and rainy conditions.

16. Stresso
“ Smart wrist band embedded with sensors to detect stress in user.”
Coming up with this prototype was extremely important for us to determine the comfort level of users.
16 | Bina0004, vina2679

17. Stresso Highlights Reasons for Failure (Feedbacks from users)
Wrist band similar to smart watch for users to have a familiar experience.
Ability to detect heart rate of the person and determining the stress condition.
Alert emergency contacts
Sensors applied: Heart rate monitor, Haptic feedback, display users with all the relevant information about stress.
Reasons for Failure (Feedbacks from users)
Alerts were pertaining to only stress.
Alerts were very annoying some users.
Alerts were not very useful for people.
No location detection.
Name was not motivating

18. Stresso- Advanced
“ Advanced version of Stresso which has more sensors and more functionality.”
18 | Bina0004, vina2679

19. Stresso Advanced Highlights Reasons for Failure (Feedbacks from users)
Appearance similar to Stresso.
Sensors applied: Heart rate monitor, Haptic feedback, Heat and smoke sensor, Location sensor, display users with all the relevant information about body vitals, calories burnt, Analytics to determine users tendency to smoke after usage over a course of time.
Reasons for Failure (Feedbacks from users)
Need more modes like sleep mode, workout mode.
Need step counter.
Need better motivation.
