3. Strategy Generate Possible Solutions Do Background Research Create mind map of problems faced by elderly, associate with energy@home Select problem area to focus on Brainstorm Strategies Select Possible Solution

5. PEOPLE INTERVIEWED  “She forgets to turn off the tap, and leaves the water running, lights too..” – Caretaker  “I think old people have trouble reaching for switches in the dark.” – Working adult  “I am concerned about her falling down, I have to watch her constantly..” - Caretaker

9. Strategies to tackle Forgetfulness z

10. POSSIBLE SOLUTION To reduce the consequences caused by forgetfulness: Motion Sensing switch

11. Existing product found Product Reviews: Light turns off too quickly Insufficient current supply to certain lights Difficult to install

12. Solution strategy: Split Device 1 Stick-on battery operated transmitter that senses presence of the elderly, sends to receiver Split Device 2 Stick-on device that gets transmitter signal and physically turns on/off light switch Transmits to

13. Solves the problems Light turns off too quickly Insufficient current supply to certain lights Difficult to install Able to stick-on to any surface, close to spaces frequented by elderly Uses existing light switches, rather than relays Convenient peel and stick using adhesive pads

14. Testing selected solution 1)Create physical paper prototype 2)Interviews, collect feedback 3)Re-iterate design using feedback

15. Identified a target market: 25% surveyed use sensors at home 76.7% surveyed would use the device Three out of five interviewed would purchase the device Mention of the elderly led to agreement on the usefulness of the product Conclusion

16. INTERVIEWS  “This would be very useful for my children, they are not tall enough to reach the switches..” -Mother of two  “ I would get this for all the appliances in my house..”– Working adult

17. Prototyping in progress Sketches of mechanism Paper Prototypes
