Green energy anywhere
The next time you reach to charge your personal devices, you may be harnessing the power of the sun. Better Current, a company working to deliver energy storage products to elevate people to the next level of energy management and sustainability, has created the JENNi: a compact and expandable home-use solar power charging station that aims to charge consumer electronics while at home or while on the move.
Bringing a caring touch to mobile healthcare
uCarenet was in development of a mobile care management application to help medical service providers track and report on the health status of their elderly clients. The management tool required a more comprehensive design study to enhance its usability, and needed to consider privacy and accessibility. George Brown College worked on both brand guidelines and the mobile design, based on uCarenet’s vision of functionality and usability. Following regular project reviews and inputs by both teams the design of the Care Management App was fully realized making innovative strides in the home care mobile space.
