Breathe Ez
Our project focuses on developing a breathing device that delivers controlled airflow while promoting a positive user experience. Designed with durability and scalability in mind, this device ensures long-term reliability and cost-effective manufacturing, making it both practical and accessible.
By utilizing high-quality materials and an ergonomic design, we aim to create a seamless, user-friendly solution that integrates effortlessly into daily life. The device will withstand regular use without compromising performance, maintaining both safety and efficiency. Additionally, the design will be optimized for mass production, ensuring affordability without sacrificing quality.
Careful material selection and engineering will enhance usability, comfort, and longevity, making the device intuitive and maintenance-free. Our goal is to develop a reliable and effective solution that meets the highest standards of functionality while providing a smooth and controlled inhalation experience.
Background:
Access to safe and effective inhalation devices is a growing concern, as many existing products on the market come with high costs that make them inaccessible to a large portion of the population. Breathing devices often require expensive components, prescription access, or recurring costs that burden users financially. As a result, individuals who need controlled airflow solutions may be unable to afford the devices necessary for their well-being.
Goal and Objectives:
Goal 1: To develop a user-friendly product that enables controlled and precise inhalation of air.
Goal 2: To create a low-cost, disposable product that is accessible to all audiences.
Objectives:
- Develop multiple design sketches.
- Get one preliminary design and start building the CAD for it.
- Finalize the preliminary design.
- Integrate new components based on feedback.
- Build Prototype A.
- Material and Fabrication Method Selection.
- Redesign Component.
- Test with users to get feedback.
- Build Prototype B.
- Get sponsor and user feedback.
