Hi team 16! Hope you’re having a smooth week. We’ve reviewed the feedback you sent this week and adjusted the report accordingly—We presented our revised design plan in the previous post.you can find the revised version in the previous blog post. By the way, I heard some parts of Spain are getting a bit cooler lately—don’t forget to keep warm! Let’s stay in touch for any follow-ups.
Subsequently, our final scheme will be fully presented below, including core design logic and implementation steps.

Core Functional Integration
Based on the core advantages of the intelligent voice interactive device, wehave constructed the “operation entrance” of the device. We retain thefriendly “rounded shape + soft color” design to avoid a mechanical feelintegrate three core functions: voice control, large-screen interaction, andhealth reminders, supporting voice commands such as “turn on theprojection” and “initiate a family game” to adapt to elderly users with handtremors or decreased eyesight. Meanwhile, we retain safety functionsincluding emergency calls, medication reminders, and fall detection, pairedwith feedback bar light prompts (e.g., flashing for family calls, greenreminders for medication times) to ensure intuitive and easy-to-understandinformation delivery.
【During remote interactions, sychronous gameplay is enabled throughprojection + voice control (e.g., grandchildren initiate the game, and elderlyusers voice commands like “place the piece” to make moves).】
Integrating the portability and projection interaction advantages of the mini.projection companion necklace, we have designed a “rotatable projectionmodule” it can be worn as a lightweight necklace (weight ≤ 5og, adjustablechain length) in daily use (the chain is composed of a charging cable tointegrate with the product’s shape), and can also magnetically connect withdevices such as mobile phones to project game interfaces, family photos, olvideo call screens. Addressing the pain points of the original projectionscheme, we have optimized it to “low-power mini-projection + automaticbrightness adjustment” to solve the issues of visibility and battery life.Additionally, it can be charged with mobile phones, magnetic power banksand other devices, eliminating battery anxiety and achieving dual-scenariocoverage of “fixed desktop use + mobile portable connection”
Form and Interaction
Form Design: Balancing Stability and Portability
The main device features a rounded shape with a non-slip base at thebottom, ensuring stable placement on desktops. A magnetic interface on theback connects to other external rechargeable modules, which can be rotatedinto a necklace form to meet on-the-go carrying needs. Additionally, thenecklace clasp of the charging cable module adopts a “magnetic + buckle”dual-fixation design, avoiding the risk of bumps and accidental detachment.
Interaction Design: Simplifying Operations Through Multi.Sensory Synergy
The device adopts a “voice + tactile + visual” triple feedback system: itvibrates slightly when receiving calls from family members; the projectioninterface uses high-contrast colors and large fonts, with support for text-to-speech functionality. All features can be activated with just “yoice commands+ a physical home button” (e.g., press the home button and say “Video callwith my granddaughter” to automatically launch the projection and start thecall). This design eliminates complex buttons and multi-step operations,alleviating the memory burden on elderly users
The device covers three core scenarios of elderly users, ensuring non-stopconnection:
- Home Alone: Activate the projection via voice to view family photos.listen to messages, or play lightweight single-player games.
- Family Gatherings: The projection synchronously displays gamerules and family stories, After the gathering, it automatically takes agroup photo and asks if you want to save it to the memory library.preserving emotionalmoments.
- Outdoor Walks: Wear the projection module (in necklace form). Itvibrates to alert you when receiving messages, and you can reply viavoice by long-pressing the module. In case of emergency, long-press for3 seconds to trigger an emergency call and send your location.
Digital Model and Data
This is the complete overview of the integrated design scheme for the “Elderly All-Scenario Emotional Connection and Health Companion Device”. The core of the scheme lies in the in-depth integration of the advantages of the three creative concepts, always taking the usage needs of the elderly group as the starting point and emotional connection as the core. It strives to bring elders a companion experience that combines practicality and warmth, enabling them to feel the care and concern of their families at all times, whether they are staying alone at home, attending family gatherings, or engaging in outdoor activities.
Here, we sincerely appreciate the strong support and sincere sharing from your team! Every design concept you proposed earlier is highly ingenious, and the feedback provided is even more meticulous and to the point. It not only points out potential problems but also offers a clear direction for scheme optimization. It is precisely due to these solid and valuable foundational inputs that our integrated design has been able to avoid detours, advance efficiently, and ultimately form the complete scheme as it is today. We feel extremely honored to communicate and cooperate with such a professional, rigorous, and dedicated partner as your team.
In the future, we look forward to maintaining continuous communication with your team and working together to further refine and improve the scheme, allowing this product carrying care and connection to truly enter the lives of more elderly people and add warmth and brightness to their later years. Finally, we sincerely wish your team an endless stream of inspiration on the future design journey, smooth progress in all projects, and continuous creation of more outstanding works that combine creativity and social value!
We wish your team continued success and all the best in your future endeavors!
