Cool Stream

Industrial Design Engineering.

A device designed to apply, cool, and dry topical treatments to overcome complications around eczema medication application.

Industrial Design Engineering.

A device designed to apply, cool, and dry topical treatments to overcome complications around eczema medication application.

As the Creative Lead, I handled all aspects of product development, from designing, modelling and prototyping outer ergonomics and internal systems, to filming and editing the final product video.
The design is motorised, and detailed with inner electronic and component mechanics. 

Eczema is an autoimmune disease with no cure.

96% of Eczema patients experience daily discomfort.

Moderate to Severe patients experience at least 12 hours of itching every day.

Features Ideation.

From a user perspective, the focus is to look into how we can make the condition more bearable. User research narrowed down to 3 major pain points, specifically surrounding treatment application:

1\ Painful Application

2\ Prolonged Drying Process

3\ Excess Dispensed Product

Feature & Form Ideation

Features Refinement.

A bladeless fan, cream dispenser, and a pressure sensitive plate were added as mechanical features to directly address pain points. This led to a user-centred refinement process, with iterative prototyping and mechanical/user testing for each feature to determine optimal device ergonomics.

Features Prototyping

Product Modelling & Assembly

Incorporating electronics housing, dispensing / gear mechanism and cream container into a device, making it as compact as possible. 
Factoring design for manufacture and assembly considerations, outer shell is designed with self locating and snap fit features to optimise product build efficiency.

Internal housing refinement following gear, bearing and outer ergonomics modifications
