This project is connected to Creating Future Experiences Part 1 and it was an individual adaptation based of the first project. Each group member had to choose a topic from the future we created and develop it further. I decided to focus on health, specifically from micro-plastics as they are increasing within our bloodstreams causing issues such as infertility and dementia. Designing a product/service for this brief had to clearly link with the previous Creating Future Experiences and so I chose to follow the policy about relying less on the NHS, I wanted a solution that those could chose to work with to better their health.

The final product was almost ‘gamified’ due to its bright colour and unusual shape, compared to PAC-MAN. The original design was to have a set of 3 products that would make someone’s shopping experience for healthy alternatives less worrying but I decided to simplify the experience to one product that lives in the fridge. The product contains genetically-modified fungi that release within the fridge to combat any external micro-pollutants to minimise the risk of health complications if consumed.

This project helped me to explore new design opportunities relating to health and also a playful approach to design. I had an amazing time chatting with alumni at the exhibition to explain what my product is and what it can do.
