01 COPHY for collaborative rehabitation

Ageing is normal, falling is not.

Following any mishap, continual rehabilitation is essential to maintain the fitness of senior citizens, making them less susceptible to falls.

COPHY is a simple intervention that makes the rehabilitation process fun, intuitive and cooperative. It engages the elderly both physically and cognitively with real time feedback and social connections. The social interaction component is crucial as it encourages them to step out of their comfort zone.

02 Prebeo

As the future demands more sustainable grocery distribution methods, coupled with growing distrust towards food production giants, Prebeo emerges as a home-farming solution that uses seed and nutrient cartridges, which can be shipped efficiently and stored compactly at home. Load and queue multiple cartridges for constant supply to provide optimal growth conditions for each cultivated produce. Prebeo redefines how fresh produce can be grown, transported and consumed to meet the demands and problems of an ever-expanding world population.

04 Takecare

Home Bakers often feel insecure about the condition of their cakes during transportion. It is found that users feel assured when the cake’s base is constantly parallel to the ground. Relieving all worries associated with cake transportation, Takecake custom fits cakes of various sizes, and uses the cake’s weight to keep itself upright during transportation. It can also be packed flat after the cake is consumed. Thoughtfully designed, its transparent lid elevates the cake for photo taking purposes and acts as a constant visual feedback during cake delivery.

05 Pilot Frixy

Pens are usually associated with education and are often looked upon as a boring tool. A study of Pilot, a brand of writing instruments, led to the observation that toddlers prefer something more fun and nurturing. Pilot Frixy is a pen designed to inculcate correct pen postures in toddlers. Coupled with Pilot’s newest product line innovation-Pilot Frixon Erasable Ink, Pilot Frixy embraces the idea that one learns through mistakes and practice.
