2. Description:
TrashformersDesign is proud to announce his latest product: Twiny. With a
unique design and a simple technology, this project is going to change
everyday life. Twiny aims to make people aware of their state of mind and
conscious of how they feel. Connecting our emotions to our physical state,
Twiny gives us the possibility to learn how to control our mood, organizing
our time, trying to make ourselves comfortable and taking stress out of our
lives. Matching our feelings data with our planning and health state, it is able
to build a grid of our feelings, suggesting how to react to a bad mood, or, for
instance, to a constant migraine or to every physical rash, caused from stress
to our body. A small non-intrusive chip you can put wherever you want on
your body, that will help you establishing a better connection between you
and yourself.
3. Device:
Twiny is a small device that contains inside sensors that allow you to
measure your vital signs. The device can be inserted in three different
elements: a patch, an elastic band and an X. The patch can be applied in
areas of the body in proximity of the wrists and hands, ankles or feet, or
close to the ears, all areas rich in nerve endings. The patch should be
changed every week, and every time can be placed in a different area. The
patch is comfortable and not bulky, it should be applied in contact with the
body and is made from hypo-allergenic materials. With its attractive design
and its soft materials can easily be worn 24/7 to allow a correct and constant
monitoring of information. The elastic band can be worn either on the wrist
like a regular bracelet, or ankle.
