anteastress

2020, group project

A product intended for office breaks must be compact, ergonomic, easy to use and clean: Anteastress contains all these features in its small size.

One of the most important problems for office workers is stress and all the consequences related to it, which are very often underestimated.

The goal of this kettle is trying to fight this issue. Thanks to the choice of six different infusions that are offered based on the pressure measured on the user, it is possible to have a healthy alternative to coffee and carbonated drinks, known to increase the levels of cortisol in the blood, the stress hormone.

how it works

measurement and beverages

 

Simply place your finger on the blood pressure detector and anteastress will provide a data relating to it: low, normal, high. The choice of infusions will fall on the couple that will allow us to re-establish the optimal level of our heartbeat.

If at the time of the measurement the blood pressure is low, you can choose, according to your taste, between a licorice or black tea infusion, which have the function of exciting the system and therefore increase the heartbeat; with a high pressure, very risky, the choice is between a karkadè or green tea infusion, very relaxing; if blood pressure is normal, two “regulatory” infusions will be proposed, mint or white tea, which help to preserve the circulatory system from sudden changes and detach thought from the work that is in progress.

Here’s a look at the development sketches and the cardboard prototype we made to make sure proportions and interaction were right:
