| DESIGN NAME: Hydrasentinel PRIMARY FUNCTION: Smart Band INSPIRATION: Behind the annual global toll of 235,000 drowning deaths lie countless unseen crises in water related environments such as hot springs and swimming areas. HydraSentinel was created from a deep understanding of human survival instincts. We refuse to let fluctuations in blood pressure, sudden drops in blood oxygen levels, or imbalances in body temperature become invisible threats. By combining intelligent design with technological innovation, it redefines water safety and safeguards the rhythm of life. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Every 120 seconds, someone drowns globally, and seemingly healing environments like hot springs and swimming pools have unexpectedly become silent threats. The Hydrasentinel smart band was created to address this risk. In addition to the standard features found in most bracelets on the market, its circular screen flashes rapidly in moments of danger. The thermal induction design of the strap provides a warming alert, while the speaker on the right emits a loud alarm when body temperature drops too low. Simultaneously, the internal vibration module delivers a warning. These four key design features work together to ensure water safety, earning it the title of Protector in Water. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Inspired by the Water Drop, this smart bracelet features a screen designed to mimic condensed water droplets and a strap adorned with flowing ripple patterns which curves symbolizing the eternal connection between life and nature. Through the deep integration of biomimetic curved surface structures and ergonomic principles, it optimizes biomechanics to deliver a groundbreaking wearing experience. With a zero-button interaction design, it incorporates full-touch operation and an AI-powered vital signs monitoring system, creating a multi-dimensional safety network with millisecond-level anomaly detection. The design shifts from passive usage to active guardianship, enabling a seamless loop from data collection to crisis intervention. This embodies the core philosophy that design is not merely an aesthetic expression but a vessel for life care. More than just a wearable device, it serves as a visual language, allowing wearers to communicate with their water environment. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in September 2024 in Shanghai, China, and finished in January in Shanghai, China. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: This smart band exemplifies the seamless integration of advanced materials and technology. Crafted from titanium alloy, glass, ceramics, silicone rubber, and a temperature-sensitiv SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: width 29.5 mm x length 64 mm x height 64mm TAGS: Smart Band, Wearable Technology, Fashionable Designa, Health Management, Culturl Significance, Ergonomics RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Life safety risks arise from underwater activities such as hot spring bathing, swimming, and diving. This research aims to explore the application of scientific technology and industrial production in addressing real-world social challenges. Research Type is Health management research, appearance design research, industrial design research. Research Objective is to develop an industrial product that balances aesthetics, human-centered care, and environmental sustainability. The iterative design method is employed, with product effects demonstrated through 3D printing and computer rendering technologies. Participants are designers, model makers, scholars, and target consumers, all of whom contributed to the design process and testing. This study explores the integration of industrial products with the medical industry, expanding the commercial potential of industrial product manufacturing. The design, specifically tailored for elderly users, embodies a spirit of human centered care. Its unique shape and underlying philosophical concepts reflect a deep commitment to environmental protection and sustainable development. By infusing industrial products with spiritual and symbolic value, the design has a profound impact on both business and society. CHALLENGE: Cultural Empowerment: The deep integration of philosophical concepts into industrial design requires continuous practice to achieve the cultural enrichment of products. Social Recognition: It is essential to increase the recognition of wearable devices among the target user group. Industrial Production: Ongoing optimization of industrial aesthetics is necessary to achieve a balance between functionality and visual appeal. Technical Limitations: Overcoming the challenges of precision manufacturing in encapsulating chips within titanium alloy cavities is crucial. Additionally, technical issues such as miniaturization, power consumption, and signal interference. The resulting is from the integration of multi-modal sensors.

NAME: Ray Ma PROFILE: Master Ma's Sculpture Art Studio, also known as MASTER MA, was founded by the international jewelry design and sculpture artist Ma Rui. Ma Rui is the third-generation inheritor of Xinjiang's intangible cultural heritage, a director of the Shenzhen Jewelry Designers Association, and a lecturer at the Xinjiang Hetian Jade Culture and Art Research Institute. In 2012, Ma Rui established the MASTER MA sculpture art jewelry brand, which quickly became famous in the jewelry industry for its unique design style. He created the "Yin-Yang Carving Method," integrating traditional Chinese philosophical thoughts and aesthetic styles into jewelry design, reflecting the natural law of the world where all things are opposite yet interconnected. Ma Rui's works break through the traditional two-dimensional craftsmanship, using three-dimensional techniques for 360-degree design and carving. The main stone often uses the warm Hetian jade, carved into a soft form, contrasting with the metal part, showing a sense of strength and tension. Ma Rui's studio not only focuses on the inheritance of traditional jade carving craftsmanship but also devotes itself to innovation through modern and international expressions. In recent years, the studio has shifted its focus to the combination of titanium metal and Hetian jade jewelry design, using a large amount of titanium alloy and 3D printing technology, combined with traditional Chinese Hetian jade carving and diamonds, inheriting the concept of Chinese intangible cultural heritage jade carving. Ma Rui has also become the first person in mainland China to use titanium metal in high-end jewelry. His works are not only recognized by the industry but also collected by many celebrities and socialites. |
