Allowing women to track their fertility in an easy and stylish way.
The Ovü is made up of a lace arm band, with a highly sensitive thermistor attached on the inside that picks up changes in the Basal Body Temperature (BBT) of a woman.
This method of tracking fertility allows a dataset to be gathered of the woman’s cycle. This dataset, collected using actual sensors, allows women the tools to have more control over their bodies. Women go about their life as the temperature is tracked and uploaded to their online database.
Control devices in your home from anywhere in the world using mobile telephone technology and a little something we like to call “magic.”

A Java applet loaded onto a fairly common mobile phone connects to a server over the worldwide standard GSM mobile network. It displays information about the current status of assorted sensors in one’s home and enables the user to change the state of several devices, all remotely.

Missed Connections meets Asterisk meets podcasts meets the MTA. Suited for love seekers and voyeurs alike, this voice-based phone system allows users to post “missed moments” that occur in the NYC subway system. Organized by train line, messages can be accessed via phone or by personally tailored podcasts so passengers can listen to the voices of their train when they’re on the train.
eParole
Network-based system that facilitates the collection of relevant information from both the side of the parolee and parole officer, enabling a more successful (and eventually shorter) time during parole.
[ in collaboration with Dan Albritton, Yonaton Kelib, Joshua Knowles, Tikva Morawati ]
Our goal is to give the parolees and parole officers the tools they need to communicate with each other on a higher level the status of such things as location, drug & alcohol intake, as well as heighten accessibility of existing services for parolees that are now very underutilized.
KnockKnock
Web-based game designed to translate memories (photos, text, voice) into a web-based game that gives feedback for the user as well as the occupational therapist.
[ in collaboration with Michael Yulin Ang, Rhys Filmer, Jennifer Shub, Gabriella Stiefbold ]
In KnockKnock, digital images are uploaded into the database, with an interface for the user to label certain events, or important memory triggers, such as birthdays or places. The reiteration of familiar (or not -so-familiar) photographs can reinforce the memory skills of the patient, minimize the progression of cognitive decline and allow patients to connect with loved ones during treatment.
