According to ‘Noorderboog’ each year more than
600 kids in Dutch hospitals end up with unconsciousness caused by the use of
too much alcohol. Or even worse they will end up in a coma. And if you are
lucky one of your friends will bring you home before it’s to late. So how can
we prevent the number of teenagers that ends up in the hospital?
WHAT? A bracelet that will measure your alcohol and dehydration levels when you go out. It’s called the ‘Vive Smart Bracelet’. This bracelet with all his functions has to make sure that you come home save and don’t end up in the hospital. What are those functions? Well you can connect the bracelet with an app that will measure your alcohol level when you start drinking. During the evening the bracelet will send random vibrations and when you squeeze it the bracelet knows you’re OK. If you don’t squeeze the bracelet will send an aware through social media to your friends so they can check on you if you’re all right. It can be used by anyone who goes out for a drink.
WHY? It is a cool idea because maybe in the
future a lot of patients that come into the hospital with an alcohol problem
could be prevented because of this bracelet. And maybe the quality of going out
will be a lot more fun. It is an Inline trend because a bracelet is an offline
thing with in this case an online function. I think the need behind this trend
is safety. We see a rise of young kids that end up in the hospital drunk and I
think with this product parents and friends don’t have to worry anymore.
So maybe this is the future of going out? The
product still needs some thinking because there are some problems but I’m
excited about this idea because I hope it will prevent a lot of alcohol
problems in the future!
