In the last week the interaction design (Julia) and business (Tabea) tried to get into our future consumer’s brain to understand what they think and feel. This is of great relevance since we need to design the user journey as well as the Value Proposition that responds to real jobs and pains/gains related to the completion of these.

We found out that the initial idea to target students, who d […]

Hey everyone!

Team Fribourg here – Where the ideation process is still in a way in progress. We know what we want, but the technical details are still a bit up for discussion. With the help of risk analysis, we settled on two possible solutions for the moment.
I won’t bore you with too many details, but the alternatives for the moment are: No batteries, all mechanical (unlikely) or rechargeabl […]

Hello everyone!

As we go forwards into the project, we feel like the outline of our UV-wearable becomes clearer and clearer.

First of all, we have a better insight of our customers’ requirement thanks to our first online survey. We will soon release a second one that is more focused and will hopefully give us some additional information about the customers’ habits.

On the engineering […]

At the beginning of last week, an important meeting with an hydrogeologist of the ICRC led us to change dramatically our former specifications. What the ICRC really wants is a low-cost and robust device, adaptable to any kind of water point and measuring up to 100 meters of water. Regarding data, it seems there was a misunderstanding between our team and the ICRC since the live communication is no […]

Hi everyone,

This third week our main target was to set up the environment needed to implement solutions we selected in the previous week.
We sent out the order of all electro […]

Last week we spoke about the RFID technology. This week we are explaining the process more in detail. There are different types of RFID technologies. Each one uses different frequencies and has different properties. We resume three main technologies for your information.

To start, we have to introduce some basic elements. The wireless communication consists of the frequency and the protocol. Th […]

Until now, we had the opportunity to meet with specialists working on ASD. However, we realised that it was necessary to also focus on the parents in order to understand their everyday life and their needs as they raise their autistic children. So we took advantage of this week to get out of our premises in order to meet them.

But, how to get in touch with parents of children with ASD?

Wel […]

Hey people !

This week has been pretty important since we started processing the datas we got from the online survey we disseminated through the internet. It’s not gonna be easy since we managed to get 550 people participating!

Unfortunately we couldn’t get as much answers from people over 45 years old as we expected, but it’s fine, we’re working on that issue. We prepared a screener and an […]

During this week, we continued our work on designing the air pollution detection device.

We had a meeting with one electronics expert at USI to discuss what is the best hardware solution for our design. We talked through the sensor selection, wireless communication selection and the power management. After the meeti […]

Second and intensive week for our team.

Our main problem for visualizing our ideas was that we do not have a water hand pump. This is why Yohanna and Elise worked on a cardboard model of it, that will be essential in the next weeks.

The engineers – Nicolas, Remi and Tobi – gathered the different technical ideas for solutions and worked on a comparative study, in order to be able to choose on […]

This week, we began with a feed back about the kick-off. After the conversation we agreed to explore different scenarios/ situation in which our object will be useful. In the same time, the first prototype is building gently. There is some work to do to the stability of the Bluetooth part.

In our project we use a technology of identification for differentiate the items, it’s the biggest chunk […]

Luca has focused on highlighting the most risky assumptions for our value proposition. It is important to know which assumptions we must verify and validate first. If these assumptions are not validated, it will surely be necessary to rotate (a little or sometimes even a lot :O). The sooner this process is done, the quicker it is possible to modify our value proposition to suit the needs of our us […]

Another exciting week for team “Smart Wellness”!

Our biggest question for now is how should the user interact with the product? We have several ideas that we will explore, from buttons to motion sensors and capacitive areas. Getting the interaction right is absolutely crucial to making a good product, so we don’t want to rush that part!

On the engineering side things are going pretty s […]

This week was a great week ! We had a really productive meeting on Thursday during which we decided to study what the product available on the market are capable of. In order to do so we ordered a compost that works with “Kobashi” (bran powder mixed with some bacterias that accelerate the transformation process of food waste into usable compost). We want to make some test and see how odorless this […]

Hi everybody,


We are working hard this first week to analyze the possible solutions for our idea regarding the following aspects: Electronic, Software, Business and Design.

To whom it may concern

We sat down together to, once again, refine our vision for pEggy and to define its functional requirements. Some of our initial ideas were kept, some were discarded and some were improved.

With the functional requirements clearly defined it was up to the engineers to develop and agree on a first set of specificat […]
