State of the Art - Draft [Week 7]

One Soul Focus!

The dispair of reports. I can be a good writer, but finding the specific research to include in this 1,500 word report was.. Difficult.

I won't put too much here, just a few break downs for the essay. Helping out anyone who needs it?

What is it? A State of the Art Review.
So this report is an impersonal record of all recent technology and such that related to your innovative idea. For my idea, it would be the likes of medical devices and smart homes, new sensors and mobile apps. A big combo of the lot.

Even though my idea is of futuristic context, all these things are relative to me research now, and help me speculate a future scenario for my idea.

I've always learned to write a essay, or report by breaking it into sections. My sections for the Review are: 

Technology, Medical, Biological, Design.

This made it a whole lot easier to write. I set about putting my research into these 3 sections, then writing about each of the major points relating to my project. Indirectly.

For Technology

I looked at the likes of Smart Homes, amBX Light Scene-Engine specifically. The only two areas of technology that really related to my idea being a home system for a family user.

For Medical

The Medical area is diversely changing over recent years because of all the new technology we can start to enhance. My prime focus is to merge the area of medical and technology without the complicated bits! I looked at Fitbit - A medical smart watch. Beddit, sleep tracker, and The Smart Health Watch (With no updates due to lack of knowledge of advancing technology and what the user wanted.)

For Biological

This has one simple to focus on area. The Bacterial Cloud. An old concept that has only recently been properly, scientifically tested. The future of personalizing a human being. It's currently being looked at for a more forensic future. Solving crimes and what not, but my approach is more diverse. More creative. An extension of a person. Something to be ours.

For Design

This was an area looking at various innovative designers and how they've combined the likes of Medical-Technology, or Environment-Technology in recent years. The inspiration. What people can do using what we have now, so what could we do in future? This was more a section personalized to my project, and it won't have much of a part in the final review. It'll still get written for a post here probably!
