Criterion G Identifying the
Problem within a Social Context

• The problem is the shower floor being too
  slippery for the elderly to safely walk on.
• The injuries they receive tend to be more severe
  than any other injuries they get in their home.

Criterion G Identifying the Problem within a
Social Context (part 2)

• More than half of the deaths that occur at
  home(as shown by the graph to the right) are in
  the shower.
• The goal of my project was to provide safety in
  showers to the elderly around the world.

4
Criterion H Analyzing the Problem and The
Feasibility Study

• A feasible solution to the problem was installing
  a surveillance system right in the shower.
• It had to provide complete security so the user
  would feel safe.

5
Criterion H Analyzing the Problem and The
Feasibility Study (part 2)

• This solution was perfect for people that lived
  by themselves because it contacted 911 if they
  fell.

Criterion IPlanning and Developing the Chosen IT
Solution

• The finished product was going to be a
  surveillance system that alarmed emergency
  services about any accidents that occur in the
  shower.
• The original hardware and software was
  Wireless-N Internet Home Monitoring Camera, Voice
  Shot, and GE Magnetic Strips.

Criterion IPlanning and Developing the Chosen IT
Solution (part 2)

• The user had to be wearing a neck collar(top
  image) with a magnetic strip, in order to trigger
  the alarm system(bottom image) that is in the
  shower

Criterion IPlanning and Developing the Chosen IT
Solution (part 3)

• The wireless cameras purpose was to allow someone
  else to keep an eye on the user.

  This website shows how the wireless camera is
  installed and the requirements. As well as how to
  set up the website for the camera.

Criterion IPlanning and Developing the Chosen IT
Solution (part 4)

• If the person fell, the program Voice Shot would
  be used to call 911 to get help for the person.
• This program was later changed to Skype during my
  project.

10
Criterion JTesting and Evaluating the Solution

• The Alpha test took place in the school library
  where the alpha tester wore a Velcro neck collar
  with a magnetic strip and walked through the
  alarm system.
• This was meant to show that the alarm system
  worked.

11
Criterion JTesting and Evaluating the Solution
(part 2)

• The Beta test also took place in the school
  library. But this time a few changes were made
  like a new Nylon collar.
• The neck collar was sprayed with water to show
  that it worked while wet.

12
Criterion JTesting and Evaluating the Solution
(part 3)

• The final test took place in a shower where the
  tester showed how the final product worked.
• The last changes that were made was the mobile
  software program from Voice Shot to Skype.

13
Criterion JTesting and Evaluating the Solution
(part 4)

• Heres the final product

14
Criterion KAssessing the Social Significance of
the Product

• In the end, the product was a complete success.
• The final set up looked like this.

15
Criterion KAssessing the Social Significance of
the Product (part 2)

• This product can be a positive change in the
  social impact area of health because it improved
  the safeness of showers.
• In the end, the social issue of health was fixed
  and my end user felt safe in her own shower
  again.
