Adam Sensor: A wearable sensor for nocturnal erectile health monitoring.
The Adam Health Sensor is a wearable device designed to monitor nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT). , which refers to spontaneous erections that occur during sleep. Worn around the base of the penis overnight, the sensor tracks the frequency and quality of these nighttime erections, providing valuable data for assessing erectile health.
Process
When we started the project, Adam Health already had a functional prototype. The core method of detecting and logging erections remained unchanged. Our work focussed on improving the overal design, ergonomics and user experience. We also addressed manufacturability, as the original 3D-printed prototype was not suitable for large-scale production.
Form development
Multiple iterations have been made to strike the right balance between ergonomics, aesthetics, and product size.
A secondary string has been added to minimize twisting of the device, which results in fewer faulty erection detections.
A wider pad has been added for improved ergonomics and a more secure fit. The concave design element makes for a recognizable look & feel, which can be incorporated throughout future Adam Health products.
Prototyping
Multiple prototyping iterations have been made in order to finetune the internal mechanism, and optimize the fit of flexible parts.
Rigid parts were made through MJF printing, whereas the flexible parts were made through vacuum casting.
A total of 20 functional prototypes were realized, complete with final paint finishes, for tradeshow demonstrations.
CMF
A dark, saturated blue was selected for the new Adam Sensor. Combined with a semi-matte texture, it gives the product a less clinical and more approachable appearance.
Final Design
The design translated into a manufactured product that stays true to the concept’s intent while meeting every functional and ergonomic requirement.
