RewindStorytelling and Communication Device for the Elderly

Undergraduate ThesisIndividual Project

Exhibited at “Design 100”ID KAIST, 2013

Rewind is a new concept device for storytelling and communication for the elderly. Combining analog and digital experience, it provides a unique experience of recording their memory, or stories and sharing them between the elderly and with other generations. It encourages the elderly to fulfill their social needs at the same time contributing on lives of others.

G-Saver 2nd Generation

Cooperated with NGO Good Neighbors, local social enterprise Good sharing

KAIST R&D TeamJan, 2012 - April, 2013

Winner, Social Venture Competition Asia 2012Finalist, Global Social Venture Competition 2013

G-Saver project is run by NGO Good Neighbors, providing heat accumulator for Mongolian nomad housing Ger. I worked for this project as a designer and coordinator of research and development team from KAIST. Going through optimization of heat preservation and the structure of G-Saver, we were able to make improvements. The usability and thermo-efficiency of the initial G-Saver increased enough to be sold in the market. The second version of G-Saver is commercialized as of winter, 2014.

The team consists of 11 students (3 engineering, 3 industrial design, 5 business majors). We did not distinguish the specific area, and worked together. However, specifically, my role was to coordinate the communication between our cooperation organization Good Neighbors and advisory experts. As a designer, I worked on improving the assembly and installations reflecting the user feedbacks.

“Sound Polaroid” is a device that records sound from user and print image and QR code so user can listen to it later online. It interactively respond to each sound and remind user of the precious moments that they want to remember. It is an unique approach to the sound which makes it able to keep sound in physical format. The prototyping was fabricated with Arduino, processing, and barcode printer. For the hardware, I used antique polaroid camera to emphasize the sense of taking instant picture of sound. I integrated LED and printer into its original parts to make it function as I intended.

Leaning on YouStanding style wooden bench for relaxingin public or opened areas

We, as a human being, have tendency to lean. We lean on the wall, door, staircase, edge of furniture, sometimes even on chairs. The observation of this behavior was the starting point of this project. For the wooden furniture project for product design fundamentals class in 2011, I intended to integrate this natural behavior into a chair. For the natural context, this design was to be used in public by many people. From here, I thought of a bench where multiple people lean together in various situations such as in park, waiting for bus in the station. The chair was made with plywood. I wanted to keep the curvy shape of human body to encourage people to just lean in when they first see this chair. Making curvy shapes with wood is not that simple, especially I was the one who had to make the chair. Thus, the final design of the chair was combining thick layer of the wood to form curvy shape. It was displayed in department building for one year.

Leaning against the wall

When we are at home and enjoy the rest to read books, have food, or watch television, we just sit on the chair and make ourselves in comfortable position. However, when we are outside, or waiting for something, not relaxed completely, we don’t just sit in. Instead, we lean with bending our body with insignificant angle. This is more of a preparation for the next moment, not letting guard down. I focused on this behavior for this project.

Page 33: Portfolio gy van

Making Progress

The chair was made by plywood. It consists of 23 parts including the stand. The height and the radius of the curve was determined by statistics data of average height and length of legs provided by Statistics Korea. Then, I used foam board to make initial prototyping, and 3D modeling to finalize the design.

Developing Effective Package Design for Increasing Comepetitiveness of Fair-trade Products

Fair-trade contributes greatly to overcome poverty by purchasing products with reasonable and fair price. However, the awareness on fair trade products in market is still very low, while its public-ity only appeals at its moral consumption vaguely. Through context and user research, this study proposes a package design whose elements effectively express clear and detailed information on each purchase of fair trade products and consumers can identify an actual effect of their purchase of fair trade products.

Conclusion

From research, it was suggested that a package design should convey clear information of how profits from purchasing these items are divided and be easy for consumers to understand. A product’s price marked with fixed format will tell the percent-age of profits that goes to each stakeholder, while informing the consumers of the fair trade premium and its detailed explanation, purpose and how it benefits the related communities. Consumers will be able to realize the how their actions have ripple effects on global community, which in turn will directly influence their intent of purchasing fair trade products. Meanwhile, this can be used along with fair trade mark as an international standard to help vitalizing fair trade product consumption. Before the design is finalized, it is necessary to get feedbacks from fair trade organizations. If possible, it would be more effective to get evaluation from the fair trade organizations or related stakeholders and assess the potential of application to the actual package design in the market.

Developing Smartphone Application for Anemia Diagnosis in Rural Areas

Hasan Abbas, Aspen Flynn, Angela Kafuria, Max Kruger, Wiver Michelo, G-Young Van

International Development Design SummitArusha, Tanzania

2014 - Present

Anemia is one of the lead causes for hemorrhaging and maternal and infant death in Tanzania. An early assessment of Anemia would increase the likelihood of treatment and lower the risk of maternal death. Several diagnostic tests exist in the health facilities visited by us, but not in all, and require additional resources such as glass slides which are often not available. During International Development Design Summit, Tanzania 2014 our team tried to develop a smart phone application that increases the accuracy of the clinical diagnosis of anemia, in order to increase the availability of anemia diagnosis and lower the risk of maternal and infant death. This is on-going project since July 2014 targeted for Arusha, Tanzania and Lahore, Pakistan.

Page 42: Portfolio gy van

Design Idea

Our team focused on two main design requirements “Non Invasive” and “Affordable/ Accessible.” We developed ideas on how to improve clinical diagnosis, and among several options we worked on conjunctiva diagnosis. Since redness of conjunctiva is correlates to hemoglobin level, it is possible to make clinical diagnosis more accurate. To make this diagnosing tool more affordable and accessible, we integrated this with smartphone application.

Smartphone application for Anemia diagnosis, 2014 How it works

This application works in very simple way to minimize additional training of users. The user interface and flow are similar to other camera applications. At first, user can take a picture of patient’s conjunctiva with color chart. Using color chart, application go through image processing to analyze the redness of conjunctiva. Then, by the calculated value of redness, it diagnoses probable stages and suggest the recommended action afterwards.

Problem Framing

From the research, we could define our problem as follow; Private clinics and dispensaries do not have access to accurate anemia testing devices and must rely solely on clinical diagnosis by the naked eye. We aim to develop a smartphone application that assists medical practitioners in diagnosing anemia by checking for pallor in the conjunctiva, which is a sign of anemia.

The workshop curriculum is based on creative capacity building exercise used in the summit which is one month length, and organizers of this workshop condensed this into one day workshop engaging in real world problems we found and are working on. This workshop is about increasing awareness of this design practice, sharing the design process in real situation, and building networks between people who share same interests.

I am participating in this project as one of core organizer and organizer of workshops in S.Korea. My role includes developing various themes of each workshop curriculum, and guidelines with other organizers.

This event is sponsored by MIT D-Lab, IDIN, and other local parteners.

Overview

The workshop is developed and organized by IDDS (International Development Design Summit) alumni based on the summit curriculum developed by MIT D-Lab and IDDS alumni. We engage in design process from real project experience and share the examples of active projects. The recent theme of the workshop was water challenge in rural Kenyan regions. In every workshop, 20-30 participants from diverse background work together to complete one cycle of design process. After collecting considerable amount of feedback from the workshops, our goal is to develop a set of toolkit. Using this toolkit, the contents and ideas from the workshop will be shared online through our website in order to spread our design process and projectsall around the world.

Tetrapak Recycling ProjectBuilding materials for rural area in India

G-Young Van, Jungmin Yoon, Kido Jang2013-2014 l Chennai, India

2nd Award from annual Hyundai HYSCO, S.Korea

Appropriate design & Technology Competiton

In this project, Tetrapak is used for making building materials for various usage such as roof, floor, door, and walls. Tetrapak is common packaging material for beverage in most countries in the world including Chennai, India. The properties of tetrapak are water proof, insulation, and durability which is good advantage for building materials for housing. The recycling takes simple process of heating the surfaces to stick tetrapaks together, which was done by ironing here. A week long education and technology application in community was taken place in Chennai, India sponsored by Hyundai HYSCO. Since then, this tetrapak recycling program was selected and educated in the region by our local partner, FSL India.

Tetrapak is a package material mainly used for juice or milk for its water resistance and durability. For recy-cling tetrapak, reprocessing is necessary, and it is recycled for pulp, papers, paper bags, paper tissue, and etc. Its strong durability enables a recycling tech-nology of condensing multi layers of tetrapaks into building materials.

In India, the percentage of recycling tetrapak is very low. Their supply percentage to recycling is 5-10% from the total tetra pak used in India. Therefore, it was easy to find thrown out tetrapaks to use for this project.

This shower facility did not have any roof or cover. Women in this community felt very insecure about bathing during the day. However, lighting was problem at night which was also dangerous. The traditional way of roofing was using coconut leaves. Our team started from building structure and roofing with coconut leaves, and then cover with tetrapaks for water proof and durability. Our team collected 150 juice cartons which were common tetrapaks in this community.
