Brief
This project consisted of designing for the future of mobility for the Queensland Ambulance Service. The project was aimed at developing a system for the year 2050 and beyond. Our client and business partner for this project was Bombardier.
Process
This complex design problem required extensive research in order to develop a suitable and viable solution. Each group member undertook a particular role within the group. My role was technology and energy which consisted of researching the energy source to power the designed system, sustainability considerations, and new technologies that would be available by 2050 and beyond to be implemented within the system
Preliminary concept sketches
Design
The Epione System’s main components are the medical chips that track and monitor users’ vital signs and medical conditions and an ambulance drone that can quickly and efficiently respond to urgent medical emergencies. The idea of using a chip system within the body was to provide medical centres with crucial information about a patient’s condition before emergency medical assistance is required. Our group received runner-up for best presentation and design by Bombardier.
