Hi Andrew,
Really nice work, am blown away by your prototyping skills
Am really curious how did you do the interface animation?
Thanks.

Hello man,awsome you rocks..!

I think this is the most interesting product you've come up with thus far (I am a biology student in the biomedical field, so I'm a bit biased ;) and I would LOVE to see this realized!

A grammatical error note: "AN traditional IV system..." in Erik W's quote box should be "A traditional IV system..."

Looks awesome man! :))

Well done mate! I really like the skillet surfaces on the front face and wheel axel cover. Is there justification behind those or was it just a subjective visual decision?

I think you are gifted Andrew, a visionary and very down to earth creative mind. Its a very interesting and useful project you got here. Congrats, keeping up like this you will be the next Dieter Rams :)

Amazing work.... I'm a medical student in Portugal and I'm sure patients need something like this,,,hospitals will never be a great place to stay, but right now they do little to help people feel better... it's almost like no one thinks about comfort... You can cure a disease, but that doesn't mean you really treat a patient...and right now, doctors just worry about CT's and stuff like that and pay so little attention to the person in front of them. I really would love if we could see more ideas like this in hospitals everywhere....

I cannot comprehend how much effort for you to take on this project. It is absolutely amazing.
The details are extremely well laidout.

Hope this idea can bring some light into the medical sector & particularly niche markets and shows that not only common parts of the design industry is concentrated .

Keep it up Andrew. You serves as an inspiration for all of us. :)

Wonderful work! Thats what design is all about!

Very good idea, very good design and a very good job... only... the combination of wood and plastic don´t like me so much... but is a realy good job. You have a gift.

This is incredible. I could seriously see this replacing an IV system in the future. Love the induction charging feature too.
The only thing I noticed was that the pump didn't seem to have any safety lock so it wouldn't be detached if it was pulled too much. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
Nonetheless, fantastic job Andrew. I look up to you.

Thanks for all the comments!

Joel, the animation is done on AE.

Pearl, thanks for the catch! I'll fix it.

Barton, it was done to slim the appearance of the product a bit. There were also some political issues.

Sam, if it was actually made, there would probably need to be a real physical lock. In my design, I have a magnetic mount.

Thanks again, let me know if you have any more questions!

what equipment did you use to create the components for your prototype? do you have access to 3D printers? Plastic production facilities? rapid prototyping? Is PAL born out of passion or is this being commercialized? What was your inspiration (have you been under the IV recently)?

Crisp, clean, glossy and well thought out. Nicely done! Popped into my inspiration folder.

awesome job Andrew. Keep up the great work!

As an ICU nurse and a graphic designer, I find this completely brilliant. Wow.

Sitting here crying as I think about how this would make a child's hospital stay so much better...less scary, safer, even fun as they raced down a hallway with their Pal. I'm not a doctor or a nurse...just a mom to a child who has spent far to much time in the hospital. Can't wait to see this in use.

Hey, this is a really great piece of design. Ticks all the boxes, functional, beautiful but most importantly it really considers the emotional/psychological needs of the user rather than just the functional. I really like the slide showing Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Your presentation style is also really inspiring, keep up the good work! =]

Awesome storytelling and idea!

I've been on an IV drip several times, for about a week at a time.
This isn't great.
In fact, it's really stupid.

I don't want self-esteem and confidence when I'm on an IV drip.
I want to not be sick anymore.

Personally I'm a fan of the older presentation a bit more. Your newly added quotes are visual clutter and detract from the story you are telling. No one that is going through an intern/junior level portfolio is going to read them. There are much nicer more graphical ways to link your research to your solutions.

No comment on the product itself, since I'm not expect in IV systems. Things like the spiral tube, bring up issues of the IV getting pulled out/yanked out with movement. Sanitation issues with a wooden handle, etc. But again, all this might be easily explained.

Other than that, product looks great, sketches are good, presentation is clean, model well done.

Clever. Clean. Creative.

Maybe you can add one moré feature to this awesome device. You can add a self charging system to the wheels to charge or just increpase battery life. Just a thought.
