    1. Define the user and use case and eco-system for UCLA treatment technology.

    2. Increase wearability and product appeal

    3. Design a product benefiting 2 stakeholders: patient and therapist.

    1. Collaborated with UX and ID teammates to map and understand paraplegics’ treatment user journey.

    2. Created wearable solution for the transmitter.

    3. Designed a modular, easy-to-wear electrode pad that allows therapists to customize electrode locations.

 

Reco Consist of 3 parts

  1. Transmitter belt (used by the patient) 2. Electrode belt (used by the patient) 3. Reco App (used by the therapist)

 

Personalized Treatment

RECO Pad has an array of 50 electrodes, which’s stimulation can be individually adjusted through RECO app

 

Wearable and Intuitive Use

Electrode pad designed to fit back spine curve and maximize flexibility. The transmitter takes a soft form and uses fabric touch material. It can be worn as a waist belt.

Large buttons, simple back/ forward press help patients easily switch between preset treatment modes under different environmental conditions.
