Res-Oxy
Home oxygen concentrator
Res-Oxy portable oxygen concentrator is designed with user-centered principles in mind and aims to provide a home-like experience for users who require respiratory assistance.
The demand for respiratory assistant devices drastically increased when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in 2019, leading to a need for a home oxygen concentrator for non-medical users due to limited access to medical attention during the outbreak.
The device is aesthetically pleasing and easy to use, with a touch screen controller and a humidity control feature that allows the user to turn the humidification on or off as needed. We have incorporated a range of features to make the device as quiet and portable as possible, including injection molding techniques, foam sheets for insulation, springs to mount the pump, silencers on the air vents, and wheels and adjustable sliding handles for ease of movement.
Needs and Criteria
Our oxygen concentrator design can turn humidification on or off whenever the user wants to.
Since the concentrator can get very annoying working all day, we made the pump so quiet you won’t even notice it working.
Aesthetics means so much to us, so we pay as much attention as possible.
Injection molding techniques make most body parts. The lowest price-to-quality ratio there is.
It also has a competent molding process.
Chalenges
One of the significant challenges was to keep the aesthetics. At the same time, every detail has to be exact and capable of fitting all the parts. The water container had a high tendency to shake while the device is on, so we had to fix it in place. The design should display a touch of the home appliance rather than hospital equipment.
Also, any complexity in the usage process and the interface of the device should’ve been avoided.
The user had to be able to move the device easily. And To create integrity between Appearance and function, it was necessary to change the humidifier water container to a more convenient form.
Touchscreen
Device controller
Using a touch screen was the solution to conveniently combine the input and output of the device. Furthermore, constant growth in the smart devices market has made most users use a touchscreen display more efficiently.
