SENSIO AI WEARABLES

Sensio is a cutting-edge biometric widget designed to seamlessly integrate with Sensio AI Wearables, including the Sensio Patch and Sensio Injector, to help elderly individuals manage chronic pain effectively.

Inspiration:
My grandma has always faced the challenges of chronic pain and I wanted to create something that could truly help her find relief and improve her daily life.

|Problem

Many elderly individuals deal with chronic pain and have trouble managing their pain from having complicated medication schedules, fluctuating pain levels, difficulty attending doctor appointments and communicating their pain points to doctors.

How might we help elderly individuals manage chronic pain through non-invasive AI wearables that allow doctors to remotely administer pain medication and grant AI autonomy to respond immediately when severe pain is detected?

Empathizing with users to better understand them.

I conducted research through in-person interviews and articles with 50+ citations on Google Scholar in order to fully understand and gauge the needs of elderly individuals and what they valued in terms of using pain medication.

User Interviews

"I’m scared the pain will strike suddenly, and I won’t be able to do anything about it."

"I don’t want to rely on someone else all the time. If something could help me automatically when I’m in pain, it would be a relief."

"I hate needles or anything invasive. If there’s something I can just wear that works on its own, that'd be wonderful."

|Analysis

Narrowing down the target audience.

In order to figure out the target market, I created a user persona to visualize common pain points of an elderly individual who experiences chronic pain on a day-to-day basis.

User Persona

Name: Margaret
Age: 83
Job: Tai-Chi enthusiast
Task: Administer pain medication

Name: Margaret, Female, Age 78

Margaret is an elderly individual living independently who struggles with chronic pain due to arthritis. She desires a simple, reliable solution that can help her manage pain without frequent doctor visits. Margaret feels anxious about using new technology, fearing it might be too complicated or intrusive. However, she is hopeful that a non-invasive wearable could provide personalized pain relief and connect her seamlessly with her healthcare provider. Margaret values her independence and wants a solution that respects her lifestyle while ensuring her pain is monitored and treated promptly.

|Ideation

Generating a broad range of ideas through sketches.

As shown below, I explored several AI wearable concepts during the ideation phase to identify different opportunities for elderly individuals managing chronic pain, with a focus on ergonomics and ease of use.

I also created several digital wireframe sketches to map out the essential screens needed for my final prototype.

UI Style Guide

|Solution

A solution to the problem.

Solves the identified problem where elderly individuals can now manage chronic pain through non-invasive AI wearables that allow doctors to remotely administer pain medication and grant AI autonomy to respond immediately when severe pain is detected.

(Sensio AI Wearables):

Sensio Patch

The Sensio Patch sticks easily to the body, where sensors continuously track pain levels and send updates to a connected app for doctors and caregivers.

(Sensio AI Wearables):

Sensio Injector

The Sensio Injector is activated and paired with the app so doctors can administer pain medication remotely.

For critical scenarios or remote care, AI with conditional authority over the Sensio Injector ensures timely pain relief.

For non-urgent cases, AI can generate smart notifications for doctor review prior to administering medication.
