Define : The problem that we are looking to fix, is helping someone who can’t depend on another person to help them when they are in need. This machine would help people who are sick, elderly or possibly just live alone. It would take away the need to be taken care of by someone else. The First Aid Helper would be there for assistance, and even to call 911 in case of an emergency.
Discover : Our problem has been designed to decrease the need for a stay at home nurse since it would be impossible for them to be working all the time. We hope that in times of trouble, the First Aid Helper will be something to depend on when needed.
Dream : Our product has been inspired by many other devices. The first, however, was a fictional character. We were first inspired to make a robot similar to Baymax in the Disney movie “Big Hero 6”. Since this would be a very difficult task to achieve, we decided to think somewhat realistic. We now like to describe our product as a Roomba with features similar to Siri. We want our product to be capable of a lot. For example, whenever there is a sign of danger, the device is able to contact 911. We want to make this possible by setting various trigger words like “help”. We are also thinking of adding a Bluetooth feature for it. This would help for if the First Aid Helper is not close enough to read your words. There would also be a deactivate button in case of accidental button pressing. Overall, our dream is to be a source of security of whoever may need it.
Deliver : As previously mentioned, our main inspiration for the design of our device would be the Roomba. We are planning to take the basic design but we’d take out the cleaning equitment and replace it with the necessities of our device. Such as the first aid kit and the ability to speak and listen.

In conclusion, we hope to take our innovation seriously as we do think that it can result in something helpful.
