Creative Care

To design an interactive and engaging experiences related to care. The goal is to enhance experience and practice in care, meet unmet needs, or address a specific problem in care-related contexts, fostering holistic well-being for your targeted user group.

Your final design solution must integrate digital, physical, and processual/spatial components, ensuring meaningful and interactive experiences rather than just providing a one-way digital information channel.

Then, a showcase that is persuasive and communicative, effectively presenting your high-fidelity prototype and conveying your design to the target audience.

How it works

Sprout is a system based in libraries that turns study sessions into real plant growth.

Each student is assigned a plant, which stays in the library during its early stages. Dispenser stations let users place their phone and plant to begin timed focus sessions. Users are provided flexibility in their session routine, track their focus and compete against friends.

Completing a session waters the plant and earns a token, rewarding consistent effort. Tokens can be used to personalise the plant pot and unlock new plants. Once matured, the plant can be added to a communal garden in the library or taken home.

Plant Pot

The plant pot uses a hydroponic system relying on water and light. Water is incrementally dispensed through completed focus sessions, up to 100% per day. The pot is customisable with options with different pot colour choices and the screen, purchased using tokens.

Collector Kiosk

A shared kiosk located in the library where users log tokens earned through study sessions. It enables them to spend tokens on new plants or pot customisations.

Library

Acts as the main physical space housing dispensers and plant pots. It also includes a communal garden for matured plants.

App

The app connects to the plant pot, tracks progress through amount of focus, tokens, plants and facilitates focus sessions. It includes gamified elements like leaderboards and stats.
