Thesis - Hospital at home
Thesis - Hospital at home
This thesis presents the development of a home healthcare concept for a product designed to measure CRP (C-reactive protein) levels. The project was commissioned by the research and development team at Plasmantic and carried out by a dedicated design group. Through extensive user studies and usability research, the team developed a concept that fulfills the majority of the defined requirements. These requirements were based both on the specifications provided by the project team and on additional criteria established by the design group. These included considerations related to ergonomics, regulatory standards for home medical devices, technical feasibility, and sustainability. The final concept emphasizes long product lifespan through maintainability and modular design, and cost-efficiency by minimizing the size and waste of disposable components. Although the concept does not achieve a fully minimalistic testing process due to technical requirements such as the manual mixing of buffer solution to ensure reliable outcomes, this added procedural step is considered a justified compromise. It enhances the accuracy and clinical reliability of test results, provided the procedure is conducted in strict accordance with the product’s usage guidelines.
Analyze your CRP: test procedure step by step
Analyze your CRP: test procedure step by step
Prepare the test
Prepare the test
Open the packaging and place the consumable test on the preparation surface
Open the lid and take a blood sample
Drop the blod in the test-container
(10-20 μl )
Analyze the test
Analyze the test
Close the lid and carefully shake the test
Put in the test in order to start the analysis process by confirming display instruction "Start the test"
After a few minutes, the result appears on the display, and the fluid should have transferred to the other tank (Picture shows incorrect side)
A more sustainable electric toothbrush
A more sustainable electric toothbrush
During the sustainable design course, our team developed a concept based on an existing product (an electric toothbrush) which was randomly assigned to us. Guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals and sustainability tools like the Eco-Strategy Wheel from the Okala Practitioner, we reimagined the toothbrush to prioritize both longevity and responsible end-of-life handling. The redesigned product features replaceable batteries to extend its lifespan and is engineered for easy disassembly without the need for specialized tools. Additionally, the internal components are made visible to help users better understand what’s inside, promoting awareness and more informed disposal or recycling decisions.
Development of an adjustable pile guide
Development of an adjustable pile guide
The objective was to develop a standardized pile guide that could be manufactured cost-effectively worldwide. The design must withstand specified loads and be both scalable and adaptable for pile sizes ranging from 6 to 50 inches. The solution features adjustable pads that provide a 6-inch range of flexibility, eliminating the need to engineer separate frames for each individual size increment. The hexagonal frame with soft, rounded edges enhances safety by reducing the risk of boat damage during docking, while also meeting high safety standards.

Meet Jimmy McGill's Audi BEQuattro. It's like a time machine on wheels, throwing it back to the days when disco ruled and bell-bottoms were in vogue. This four-wheeled beauty rocks a retro look that says, "I was cool before it was cool."
With its classic lines and shiny paint, Jimmy's Audi is a head-turner, and not just because of its eccentric owner. The interior is a flashback to an era of leather seats and wood accents, making you feel like you're about to embark on a glamorous 70s road trip.
Under the hood, there's a beast that roars with power (electric), just like Jimmy when he's in the courtroom. It's a combo of old-school charm and modern muscle, kinda like Jimmy's mix of vintage legal tactics and contemporary flair.
So, when you see Jimmy cruising in his retro Audi, remember, he's not just a lawyer; he's a time traveler, and his ride is the DeLorean of the legal world.
The development of an adaptable and modular workspace for the school environment
The development of an adaptable and modular workspace for the school environment
The "Tranan" concept simplifies furniture setup in schools by arriving pre-assembled, requiring only unfolding and attachment of angle hooks, saving time for school staff. Its design supports ergonomics during individual work, especially in subjects like math, by allowing books to rest on a foldable shelf above the notebook, improving posture and focus. The adjustable screen enables students to choose between concentration or collaboration. The furniture is made from merbau wood with terracotta-coated legs, combining aesthetics with structural integrity. The table also comes with integrated outlet for electrical devices such as the school-laptop and additional lighting under the shelf to improve visibility.
Shrek Cam – A Camera from Far, Far Away
Shrek Cam – A Camera from Far, Far Away
Created in Affinity Designer as part of a pass/fail course with no grading pressure (I took the chance to go all in). The result? A simple yet legendary camera inspired by the Shrek universe.
You snap a photo by pulling the right ear (yes, a Shrek 4 reference), scroll the menu with the onion joystick, and delete or go back using the red onion button. No adjustable lenses here, instead, you zoom and focus by performing the “1000 needles” gesture on the ogre-skin lens. (No ogres were harmed in the making.)
It’s quirky, fun, and perfect if you want to stand out , whether snapping Fiona in her tower or stealing the spotlight at a press event.
Are you the dedicated and professional Shrekamera-man? ...or do you just want one? Reach out and let’s make some swamp magic happen.
