Project Overview:

"A survival game that cleverly combines natural ecology with social competition metaphors"
  • Game Name: Futura Fit Diaper
  • Type: Interactive Product Design / Smart Wearable Device
  • Platform: Mobile + Physical product + Smart Diapers
  • Duration: 3 months
  • Role:
    • UI Designer
    • UX Designer
    • Product design
    • Narrative Design
    • Visual Designer
  • Tools:
    • Sensors: Texas Instruments HDC2010 (temperature & humidity) / AS7341 spectral sensor / Flexpoint bending sensor / STMicroelectronics LIS3DH accelerometer
    • Communication: Bluetooth wireless module
    • Structure/Hardware: Detachable diaper pad / Dual overlapping straps / elastic waistband / pH test paper
  • Project positioning: FuturaFit Diaper is an intelligent, reusable diaper system designed for infants. It integrates multiple sensors and modular components to monitor moisture, temperature, and urine volume in real time, providing caregivers with alerts and data.
  • Key Values
    • Sustainability (eco-friendly & reusable)
    • Health monitoring (smart sensing)
    • Comfort and convenience (user-centered design)
    • Data-driven infant care solutions

Background research

  • Emissions from overseas shipping
The phenomenon highlights the growing environmental impact of global trade and the urgent need for measures to reduce carbon emissions from the shipping sector. The shipping industry is an important part of the global economy, but it also has a significant impact on the environment.
  • The number of imported products used by Chinese people in recent years
  • In the past 10 years, the proportion of diapers in imported products is specific data
  • The number of babies born in the last five years
  • How often the baby uses diapers
  • Conclusion: People's amenities imported products are increasing year by year, of which diapers account for a large proportion of imported products, although the number of newborns has declined in the past five years, but the use of diapers has not decreased.

Technical support

  • Sensors
This electronic fabric integrates a total of six components, realizing the functions of "monitoring temperature, humidity, baby movement track, sleep quality, urine color" and so on. Moreover, these data can be fed back to the mobile app, where users can see real-time data and receive the prompt of changing diapers. It is a multifunctional electronic fabric.
  • Monitoring: Humidity monitoring
