MOCACARE

MOCACARE, your heart health in your hand. The system combines a cardio-monitor, a vital sign monitor to watch your heart health, and service to improve your heart health. The project has been initiated through Kickstarter and successfully funded in 2015.

MOCACARE is also one of the iF Design Award 2015 winners.

It’s a long story. Back to 2014, at the beginning of the research, the team found that people who have heart disease would need to check their heart status regularly, but the current healthcare device is inconvenient and causing other issues.

At home, school or workplace, users have other needs more than just checking the heart health status. They would like to report their health status to their beloved just in case, which is because the heart disease might bring the person away anytime anywhere, and have an alarm/notification service to inform other people where they are and how good their heart is. The good thing is, it helps patients and family build up a closer relationship. The bad thing is, no one would like to be monitored 24/7.

The current heart monitors in the market are gigantic and heavy. Some patients have to wear them if necessary to monitor all heart health info for a period of time. BUT most users actually don’t really need to check heart status all the time. What they need is a tool that helps them check heart health status immediately, anywhere anytime when they don’t feel comfortable with the heart. They want something small and could be hidden because of the privacy. A tool that can be put in wallet or pocket, or like a keychain that you will not forget to bring when going out.
