Welcome to the 2nd in our Red Dot Awards series. Lovely looking concepts that we hope will make it to the market.

Low-cost, small, portable sports monitor

First Response Monitor is a small device that clips onto a patient’s nose to monitor breathing rate and heart rate, giving an at-a-glance indication of both parameters.

This data is added to a trends graph that shows how these measurements change over time.

The data can be transmitted via Bluetooth low energy to a smartphone application or tablet, enabling further analyses such as multiple patient triage or situational awareness across the group.

Spot fresh fruit in the shopping mall

When buying fruits and vegetables, consumers tend to spend a long time picking out the freshest ones, but at the same time, they also worry about toxic pesticides or unnatural chemical pigments on fruits and vegetables.

Fresh Ring is a wearable device that gives advice on fruits and vegetables selection. It uses a bio-identification technology to distinguish the freshness of fresh produce and detect the degree of pesticide residue or harmful substances on fruits and vegetables.

No injection blood sugar monitor

Circle Life is a smart wearable bracelet device for diabetes patients. It combines the latest technologies, including insulin patches with micro-needles and a non-invasive low-current blood glucose sensor. This may help simplify the process and minimise pain for patients, thus making their day-to-day lives more pleasant.

The design is motivated by three main goals: to detect blood sugar levels in a non-invasive fashion; to provide a way to get an insulin injection without pain; and lastly, to create an easy-to-use and robust health management system with a mobile application

Unicycle + Bike = Ubike (short for Uni-bike)

Ubike, which is short for Uni-bicycle, combines a unicycle and a bicycle to offer a different transport solution and an alternative method for travelling “the last mile”.

Its scooter function works like a simple and practical electric bicycle and can be converted into a self-balancing unicycle for office commute.

So much fun!!

Reinventing the 50-yrs old seesaw

When more than two children want to play on the seesaw, a regular seesaw needs to be balanced on both ends. This is a possible scenario but extremely dangerous.

The Combination of Seesaw is designed to change the traditional way of playing on a seesaw by carrying two children, four children and six children safely.

Pre-set routes for children cyclists

Personally I think children will go where ever they want to, but Hu Zhonghua believes that this children's bike is the next best thing.

If a child who wants to cycle somewhere by himself, this Smart bicycle design for children allows parents to create a cycling route for the child via a smartphone app. It helps parents keep track of the location and situation of the child in real-time. More importantly, this design helps children cycle in the right direction and makes sure they can find their way home.

The handlebar of this bicycle is designed with an LED indicator. Once the route is set, the child only has to follow the instructions of the indicator, which will give advanced notice on the directions. Arrows light up to let the child know when and in which direction he or she should turn the handlebar. When a turn has to be made, the light flashes to remind the child to turn the handlebar. The LED light also serves to alert pedestrians, thus enhancing the safety of the child on the bicycle.

Unlimited climbing

Unlimited Climbing is a track-type rock climbing “wall” that combines the principle of a treadmill with a rock-climbing wall. It is not limited by the height of the room and can be used for arbitrary climbing practices. Set with different levels of difficulty, the grip points are changed randomly to generate a combination and permutation of climbing challenges.

The Unlimited Climbing is convenient, safe and does not require a large space to create different rock faces. So compact in size, it can be placed in a variety of indoor environments. This product has a built-in intelligent recognition system. There are also three preset modes to choose from: the simple mode where the climber does not have to control his speed, a general pattern mode where the climber is free to set a speed, and the challenge mode with a wall surface that can tilt to a maximum of 15 degrees.

Amphibious Joint-lifeguard UAV

Amphibious Joint-lifeguard UAV is designed to assist beach lifeguards in their task of beach and water surveillance. Positioned on a patrol tower, it stands higher than the beach crowd to get a clear overview of the area. When employed, it flies overhead for ground patrol and serves as co-rescue equipment when swimmers, surfers, and other water sports participants are in danger. This charging patrol tower can also be installed on the back of the lifeguard’s pick-up truck.

On the patrol tower, the Amphibious Joint-lifeguard UAV can recharge itself. The tower has a wide, funnel-shaped dock that ejects the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and allows it to return the to the dock easily. When an accident happens, both Amphibious Joint-lifeguard UAV and lifeguards will make their way towards the victim's location. Because the UAV flies faster, it is able to send updates of the victim’s situation in advance. The UAV is designed in the shape of a symmetric surfboard so that victims in the water can grab or climb onto the back of the UAV, and the lifeguard can “pull” the victim back to the coast via remote control.

Total traffic awareness when cycling

This device provides cyclists with the visual information to make safer decisions and avoid potentially dangerous road situations by integrating front and rear cameras with 360-degree proximity and collision detection.

The act of wearing an obvious camera when cycling was the key driver for the aesthetic of the camera feature on the rear of the helmet. Highlighting the raised lens detail and the proximity sensor ensures that any approaching drivers know their actions are being recorded.
