PreVis is a new technology that allows healthcare workers to see patients using camera glasses worn by paramedics. Although it's still in the early stages, there's a partnership with NTNU to address challenges. For our project, we focused on how to alert paramedics about adequate signal strength for PreVis.
Teach ambulance staff to use the PreVis tool. The PreVis box has a manual with pictures to help learn. It also has side lights to show signal strength and a way to mount it without blocking ambulance workers.

My role was to communicate with the paramedics on this project, and note down their pains, gains and needs. Later I aided in the design process of the PreVis holding case.
My role
First lego league
First Lego League is a competition where kids code and build small robots using Lego and other materials. In contests, these robots work on tables with different surfaces. However, the championships last only one week, and the tables are often stored away. What can we do to give the tables a useful purpose while they're in storage?
The improved First Lego League tables became easier to move and store by converting them into collapsible divider walls. These walls are sound-absorbent and can display student projects as decoration.
Solution
I talked to the First Lego League contact in Gjøvik. I mapped current tables and explored possibilities. Then, I identified needs in classrooms and potential overlaps.
