designer's own words:
Anticipation
Illness and recovery are natural processes we all go through at some point of our lives.
When we are sick we want to heal as soon as possible to make our activities as usual again. But sometimes this recovery
process can become stressful and tiring.
When we get injured a bone or muscle, we need to rest for a few weeks or even months and thereafter perform physical therapy
to regain strength and balance in our body. Day after day mobiity will recover and overtime we will be doing activities as w normally do.
Why don't we transform the healing into more positive process? Focusing on what is to come (the recovery of our health) but
starting from our present condition. And also taking advantage of the hi-tech of our era.
We must focus on the bright side
- make a positive recovery process
- look beyond the current situation / keep out vision for future
- reduce stress for people who are in a recovery process
- create a new vision of health and recovery
Proposal
A ball / sphere that shows the progress of recovery in physical therapy though luminosity.
It will glows according to the pressure you apply, the more pressure the brighter it glows. day after day you will
gain strength, and the brightness will become more intense and you will know your progress with visual interaction.
also, the generated data of the sensor wil shown through a screen for detailed information
the material for the sphere will be translucent silicon. there will be sensors inside the sphere which can detect the
muscle movements and other physical bio signals such as blood presure and pulse.
the band which is attached t the sphere can be wrapped in to different body parts like the wrist, arm, leg and so on
