Product Design

This project was developed as part of the final project of the ESAD Undergraduate Degree in Product Design. The brief challenged students to develop an innovative product based on the theme "Energy", exploring one of three proposed subthemes — Safety, Well-being or Fun — through a process of research, ideation, experimentation and product development.

Developed under the Safety subtheme, this project proposes a guided emergency assistance system designed to help anyone perform first aid correctly. Through a tactile interface and a step-by-step guidance system, the proposal aims to reduce human error in high-pressure situations by providing clear instructions throughout the process.

Based on the analysis of different emergency assistance systems, the project incorporates principles of autonomy, intelligent guidance and safety, contributing to a faster, more effective and more accessible response in critical situations.
