The fall detector will act as an emergency service in case the elderly person falls. It will send a notification to their loved ones enabling them to respond to the situation.

The Home-E lights aims at guiding the elderly every time they are out of bed and the colors of the lights specify the time of the day with an ambient effect

A pressure sensor placed between the mattress and the person will sense when the person is getting on or off the bed. It will elevate the bed at an angle that will help the elderly climb down the bed comfortably by providing back support

Our project is dedicated to the space around dreams and our ability to process our emotions, moods and stress in our sleep. We want to explore using objects in the bedroom as transactive memory and emotional deposits. Our goal is to enable users to be reflective of and to clear their heads of their emotions and ideas before they sleep, so that they do not lay in bed brooding.

The Mind Jar allows you to purge these worries and anxiety we take to our bed. The platform has paper and pen on which you can write your worries. You then fold the paper, drop it in the Mind jar and listen to the satisfying infinity dropping sound and let go of your worries and stress.
