Auto-Protect Surface Disinfectant [Read more]
UV Light Disinfectant
This a UV disinfectant that operates almost like a robot vacuum cleaner, fully automatic directing itself around avoiding obstacles on the way using ultrasonic sensors and an IR module to avoid it from falling down from any high surfaces. The idea of the device is to minimise any human interaction and leave it to sanitise your surfaces. This could be used in offices with a high volume of usage, in kitchens and even schools desks.

Here is a view of the device from behind as well where you can see the UVC light strip, the wheels that move the device and the IR sensor. This device is programmed to move slow enough for the UVC light to be effective on the surface which solves the issue of the user not sanitising the surface properly.
UV Light Disinfectant
The device uses UVC light to disinfect surfaces it moves around using two wheels that are attached to motors. There is also a ball bearing that helps the device rotate around to the direction intended. This device is powered only with a 5V battery and run by an Arduino Pro Mini.
ITHERAPY
ITHERAPY is a device designed to improve mood disorders including headaches. It is mainly using electrical stimulations targeting particular spots around the skull. It also includes a pair of earphones while are connected to each other via a retractable wire. The reason the retractable wire was chosen to apply more pressure for the neck collar again the back of the neck, therefore, ensuring results. A retractable wire also improves the portability of the device. The reason music was included in this device is due to its results in improving mood disorders in the past. The device will be controlled from an app with three different levels of stimulations and a list of selected music to calm the user.
iTherapy
This is the device when the retractable cables are back in place. This ensures the electromagnetic pads are pushing against the neck for the device to work. This also makes the device more portable to carry around daily tasks.

Here is the device in action. As you can it seems pretty comfortable to wear and effective hitting the spots the pads are targeting for the device to be effective. The user will be able to control the music and the strength of the electromagnetic waves.

I'm Achment Sarara, and I am a final year student at Loughborough University studying product design & technology.
Seeing people use well-designed products brings me joy and drives my passion for Product Design. I have always had a sharp eye for spotting design flaws and been intrigued by how products can be improved. Being a Product Designer will give me the opportunity to flex my creative nouse and allow me to deliver innovative solutions to a variety of problems. Keen to apply my technical and workplace skills within an exciting industry-related role.

Work Experience
As part of my degree, I did a placement year in industry working for a company called Molton Brown. I was hired by the packaging design team and developed a huge amount of experience in packaging and sustainable design. My main role was researching the market and developing concept proposals which are then taken forward. I had an excellent contribution to the department and helped me understand the importance of accuracy and precision in design.
