Abstract

The aim of the following project was to investigate the acceptability of an infant wearable as a consumer market product for the Philips Avent uGrow range. Infant wearables are a new technology, and although some currently exist on the market (mainly spearheaded by startups), it is unclear whether this would be a good direction for Philips to take. Part of this aim was to gain an understanding in whether this technology would be useful to parents, and if so; how. Furthermore, the form and materials impact comfort and visual appeal. To achieve an acceptable design on both fronts, the project takes a dual approach: both ideal form and ideal functionality were investigated. A pragmatic, user-focused strategy was taken to critically assess existing and potential solutions.
