Paddy - The Panic Buddy

Invention Design, Prototyping

In the course 'Invention Design' our task was to create a future scenario with an existing technology or a technology which could be existing in the future. The goal was to create a very detailed concept or a product which doesn't even exist yet. The design wasn't relevant for that course.
In our project we created a concept and a little prototype for people who are seriously affected by panic attack desease. As devices we have chosen a smartphone with an app on the one hand and a smartwatch on the other hand. Both work together to prevent an attack or help people through such an attack.
