Demonstration of Aqua Anchor holding up a person if they fall

Aqua Anchor is a wearable vest designed for multiple sclerosis patients to shower without fearing falling. The mechanism works by attaching a vest to the roof of a showering system using a nylon rope. The rope provides a range of motion for the person to walk around the shower, grabbing anything they need. The vest is secured around the user using an ergonomic buckle, allowing for accessible use. In the event of a fall, the user is caught by the rope, preventing fractures, head injuries, and even spinal cord injuries.

🎥 Video Editing 🎥

This is a screen capture of DaVinci Resolve which is a video editing software I used to compile the video for submission

I edited the video to demonstrate the the effectiveness of our design. The video contained clips of the prototype that had a voice over explaining the human factored design and how intuitive the design is. I was in charge of filming the video and creating a storyboard to ensure flow and that the script matched with what was on the screen. I was also in charge of writing the script so that the video had audio to give context for the design. I also did the voice over for half of the video with my groupmate doing the other half. As a result, the video demonstrated how the design worked, what function it serves, and how users can wear the device. It also goes over next steps and what we learned from each iteration of the prototypes.
