Clock Sense

-Frugal Digital
The Problem

-> Facilities not easily accessible

-> Crowd in the Healthcare centers
-> Divided attention to patients
-> Wastage of time of Patients
-> Wastage of time of Doctors
Why is it even important enough to discuss?

• Groundbreaking
• Solves critical issues :
• Scalable
• Frugally designed
 What could be a solution?

• A low cost vital statistics

screening tool.
• frontline health workers can be
empowered with simple devices
to screen large populations.
• Volunteers with minimal medical
training actively screen large
populations to reduce stress on
healthcare centres.
 Starting point of the Solution

• A wrist watch or clock could be great starting point.

• It is ubiquitous.
• It was easily available with a great local repair network
• The visual language was easy to understand and comprehend.
• fro primary sensors might fit into a clock.
 First Draft
• The first trials was around a wrist watch that could
have many sensors.

Problems with it,

• The wrist watch was very small and
had to be fitted onto a box to allow for
the electronics to fit in.
• A small display creates a sense of
unsureness.
• Repetitively readings taken made the
patients a bit more nervous about their
condition.
 Final Solution

• A Clock Meter which has a

oximeter attached to it,
which can read the
haemoglobin of the blood.
• It has a USB port which can
be plugged into sensors that
can measure temperature,
blood pressure, pulse,
respiration rate, oxygen
saturation, etc.
• The readings are done with
the pointer
