Dear CHIC Community,

During our last meeting all the team members approved the functional requirements for our connected pill dispenser.

We also decided to prioritize the different features in order to build or final MVP.

In order to get ready for Milestone 3 and 4 we defined a detailed plan for the next weeks. Every member has the opportunity to contribute to the success of our project.

Our i […]

Hello everyone!

It has been a long time since our last post, but work is still going on!

We are preparing for the milestone 3 next week, finishing some reflection on some aspect of the project and still defining the specificities of it.
The designers and engineers are narrowing down the essentials features and mechanisms to incorporate in our lamps, how to make them move and works.
From the busi […]

Hello CHIC community!

After conducting a lot of new interviews with doctors and physiotherapist we got great new insights. Those interviews confirmed that we were heading in the right direction. […]

Dear readers,

From Milestone2, we first defined the possible different scenarios that a user can have with the interaction of our product. This helped us to analyse and define also the user experience for every actor: doctor, pharmacist, nurse, relatives ‘patient, patient and the data flow.

Hello everyone!

Business models can be quite hard. If your business is not a classic B2C and includes several actors, including some institutional ones, everything becomes much more complicated

In a call to the city of Geneva Tomas discovered that they do not allow any installation for commercial purposes. This leads to a possible reorientation of the target for the vitrine. We will explore […]

Hello everyone,

The last week we started to work on the prototype of our device. It is a good new for our team to materialize our progression.

For now, we have decided to develop a kind of leggings with integrated sensors which will capture the movements of exercises during a rehab session.

This device is proposed for rehab after an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) surgery. The main goal […]

Hello dear friends!

This week was fruitful in many aspects :

Pablo proposed us a great template for the menu displayed, while Emilie presented us the aesthetic and practical possibilities of our device. The engineers team finally managed to choose several components to create our “purely” functional prototype, and also create a great sketch of the database we will provide.

But more import […]

Dear readers,

It has been a long time! 

After the kick-off weekend, we decided to stick to noise in coworking space. In our MVP, each noise sensor will be embedded in an object that will give visual feedback to users of the real-time noise level. To integrate our object well in office spaces, we thought of an object shape which would look like a […]

Hello everyone !

Sorry we are a little late with the blogpost this week, but this is because we are spending a lot of time trying to define what would be our final product.

In this week meeting we agreed on what would be our 1st prototype and what features it would have. So, each member as a lot to work on this week, and we are looking forward to present to you what will be the first […]

Hi everyone,

Time is flying but TΨ has done some work this last week !

• Morgane has been worked on some data analysis with RStudio to simulate what kind of reports we could get
• Urbain has looked on the hardware materials and what kind of battery we would need
• Maxim has analyzed different methods of communication we could use between LORA, Wifi, bluetooth…< […]

Hello everyone!

The semester has started, students fill the rooms and Team Vukovi thinks: how to fill our booth?

Tomas went to Geneva and had some very interesting conversations with local craftspeople, giving them hints on other people we should target: small shops with bad locations.

Antoni and Vuk have been busy thinking all of the electronic components we need to order. Still a bit to […]

Hello to everyone!

We know that we launch ourselves into the creation of a smart bell to address specific hospital needs. Now, it is time for us to define exactly HOW our solution will deliver what we want it to do in order to guarantee an as high as possible experience for our users (patients and nurses) and have a reliable system for what concerns technology.

This week we had again a remot […]

The last few weeks were tough for the Fogs, we had a really short time between the MS1 and MS2 ! Indeed we had multiple iteration of concept, but after an interview with the Dr Julien Favre, specialist on biomechanics, we decided to go for a device able to measure specific parameters on the gait, outside a lab. We spent the week end working this idee, but the more we worked on, the less applicatio […]

Dear Community,

Last weekend, during the Milestone 2, we had the chance to meet all the groups who are participating in the CHIC program and discover the several projects.

Such a great opportunity to exchange different approa […]

The lift-off weekend was, as usual, really intense, rich in feedback and insights, and very productive!

After having spent the last week preparing for our presentation, we finally presented our i […]

Hello everyone,

This week-end we had the lift off week-end for our project.

It started with the MS2 that allowed us to get very interesting feedback from all the CHIC community, and it really helped us to get a better understanding of what was missing in our vision and it allow us to redefine our project.

The rest of the week-end was also very useful as we receive many advices on numerous impor […]

Hi!

After our MS2 presentation, we learned a lot during this lift-off week-end.

It began with the feedback you CHIC people provided us. Some of them proved to be useful and constructive, as we had not thought about them. Thank you very much 🙂 ! For example, we discovered that wireless communication, which is a crucial aspect of this program, revealed itself as much more complex and vulner […]

As we just decided which opportunity space we’re gonna work on, we met a surgeon specialist of the knee, Dr Martin working at CHUV. Indeed we decided we’re gonna work on the following of the leg after injuries and specially when an operation is required. We had plenty of suppositions about which datas could be pertinent for the patient and the professionals. However, we had a few wrong assumptions […]

Dear readers,

Wow what a click-bait title. Buzzfeed get out that body. Ok. So. Let’s be serious.

I think it’s the right time to unleash our way to make decisions. As everybody is going to have to make some hard ones in a near future. It’s easy to have ideas but how does our team manage to get through the process of selecting one “final” idea ?

As you may know, we had difficult time to […]
