Under the course ‘Smart Objects’ at the School of Visual Arts, my teammates (David Mahmarian, Alexa Forney) and I explored a way to solve the problems related to human health in cities, and the consequences of gentrification and density. We particularly shared a common interest in Chronic fatigue syndrome, or CFS. Chronic fatigue afflicts 1-4 million Americans per year. However, since there is not yet a cure for CFS, the key to living with CFS is treating symptoms. So we created a special alarm clock called BED+TIME that tracks one’s condition such as their diet, sleep patterns, and activities so that CFS sufferers can manages their symptoms easily. This will help them feel better and will allow them to take control or the CFS.
