OXIWEAR

The first wearable for continuous oxygen monitoring.

More than 10% of the population is at risk for hypoxia - a serious condition that happens when your body doesn’t get enough oxygen. Affected herself, Shavini Fernando founded OxiWear to create a wearable device that continuously monitors oxygen levels, heart rate, and is able to alert users in case of an alarming drop on oxygen levels. OxiWear tasked 10XBETA to develop their concept of a wireless, non-intrusive, ear-worn pulse oximeter further.

Deliverables:

  • Industrial Design

  • PCP Miniaturization

  • Electrical Engineering

  • Mechanical Engineering

  • Rapid Prototyping

Designed to empower patients to continue with an active lifestyle.

In cooperation with Salthouse Design, 10XBETA created several industrial design concepts with the goal to create a look that is small, modern and sleek. Loop concept designs were tested through loop pressure tests, force tests, and 3D printed fit tests.

The 10X R&D and Electrical Engineering team worked on miniaturizing the electronics to the determined size.

  • PCB development and EE integration, board layout, planning, hardware selection

  • PCB Schematics + fabrication

  • PCB Design for Earpiece and Charge Case

The prototype development  included: 

  • Proposed Electronics hardware selection

  • Complete layout of charger PCB

Ideas that inspire.

Simultaneously the 10XBETA team iterated on design concepts for a charging with up to 24 hours of battery life. The design served as a starting point for OxiWear’s final case-design. 

10XBETA also developed a works-like/looks-like prototype with live SP02 tracking that was presented to potential clients and investors.
