Aria | Product and App Design
redesign a product that has significance to you.
I struggled with Asthma as a child, and one thing I remember the most was using nebulizers every single night. These were used to give me 2-3 medications at a time and can be quite scary and loud, especially at a young age. I wanted to tackle that fear and make a product that not only made taking your medicine easier, but more fun as well. Aria is a nebulizer that uses music as a way to encourage children to enjoy life with asthma.
The Process
I was inspired by two main things, the Ocarina from Legend of Zelda, and the grips used for gaming controllers. I used these, to create a form that children would be familiar with, thus making them more likely to pick it up and use it.
The App
The main functionality of the nebulizer uses an app to track different medications, the progress in lung capacity and lung strength. There are a total of 100 programed songs on the app, and give you the option to download many more to make your experience as personalized and fun as possible.
