Skota is a personal first aid with the aim to alleviate sepsis misdiagnosis and enhance patient empowerment at the initial concern, such as pain or sickness. Focusing on promoting greater confidence, independence and management of this insidious condition, underpins measures for early detection and necessitating a more sustainable healthcare system. Technological advancements presents a promising future of non-invasively monitoring the progression of lactate, one of the most accurate biomarkers that fluctuates synchronously with sepsis, alongside new forms of digital temperature sensing to improve accuracy. Current forms of testing for lactate are laborious, invasive and time-consuming, the potential in infrared technology yields unprecedented benefits for the medical market, aligning with the prospering trends in telemedicine.

Hello, I'm Christie. As an adventurous designer, the drive to explore more about the 'why' and 'how' behind problems welcomes new ways of ameliorating issues, without taking away the users' ability to partake in their daily routine. My interest in delving into the human relationship between them and their environment has become a consistent theme in my personal ethos, and has flourished throughout university. Tuning into the deeper opportunities and insights that align with users' goals and personal significances, presents meaningful products and people-centric experiences, that will ultimately empower individuals.

I believe good design shows purpose in a multitude of forms, not only to those with a closer connection but the wider world. This is where keeping abreast with trends, projects concepts with greater value. Furthermore, my enthusiasm towards sustainability has also anchored my past and present work, which I aim to continue to steer future ideas to bring harmony between people and the planet.

Although sepsis is familiar across the healthcare environment, the signs are still easily misinterpreted and unrecognised as these can be initially innocuous. The danger of misdiagnosis also stems from the ailments becoming fulminant, which forms the emotional difficulties and health distresses that co-exist with the deluge of pressure amongst medical professionals. Medication can also be incorrectly administered, amplifying the patients' anxieties and minimising trust.
Harnessing the growth of telehealth is pivotal in enhanced healthcare delivery. A one-time device registration and set up using Bluetooth 4.0 via an app, drives value in health monitoring by initiating timely treatment. By transferring the results to the doctor, they can identify issues earlier and assess the treatment required before symptoms escalate.
Within the demands of home testing, multiple tests per device carries lucrative opportunities; this is concurrent with improved diagnostic accuracy, quicker detection and greater convenience at the point of care. Pain-free infrared technology and AI enables healthcare professionals to portend sepsis progression based on relationships in lactate and temperature levels, reimagining healthcare to be more seamless.
The shift towards the favour in personalised healthcare is synonymous with greater independence in disease management, parallel with consumers' enthusiasm in health and wellness. The touchscreen interface enables users to easily navigate their results through tapping and swiping, whilst also providing them a visually succinct way to represent data.
The emotional requirements are paramount in ensuring a calming experience during monitoring, with visual and haptic feedback: the illuminated symbols navigates the user to what they are testing paired with concave buttons that brings intrinsic physio-pleasure. This is followed by a haptic vibration to indicate when the reading is completed.
