Introduction<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

This project was a 7-week challenge to create a device that can provide assistance to a person living with a disability. We collaborated with Community Living and Support Services (CLASS), a local Pittsburgh nonprofit, to gain insight into the existing stage of assistive devices, proper methods and practices when working with clients that live with disabilities, and also to connect us to Keith, our client for the project.<\/p>\n

Keith, our client, was a machinist who suffered a traumatic head injury, resulting in headaches, reduced mobility in his left side, and forgetfulness. Beyond that, he is a lovable grouch and has an appreciation for cheesecake. We documented our initial interview with Keith here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What we built<\/h2>\n

Keith’s Explosive Schedule Reminder is a handheld phone-sized device that reminds him of his schedule. A screen on one side displays his upcoming scheduled event and a buzzer inside beeps when event is five minutes away from starting.<\/p>\n
