Txog Chrys Lub Tshuab Nias Kho Kev Kub Hnyiab Rov Zoo

Chrys yog ib lub tsho nias (pressure garment) tsim los ntawm parametric rau kev kho menyuam yaus uas raug kub hnyiab kom rov zoo. Siv tus qauv gradient topology lattice, lub system no yuav ua kom cov qauv nyias los tuab tuaj rau saum cov caws pliav kom muab tau lub zog nias kho mob tseeb rau 25 mmHg, thaum tseem cia cua nkag tau rau cov tawv nqaij uas noj qab haus huv. Qhov kev tsim no muaj ib lub system modular uas cais qhov kev siv kho mob tawm ntawm txheej kev zoo nkauj. Qhov no ua rau cov neeg mob hluas customize tau lawv lub tsho nrog cov khoom pom kev pauv tau, uas pab txo kev ntxhov siab los ntawm kev kho mob dhau ntawm kev ua kom muaj tus kheej uas txaus siab rau.

Yam Tshwj Xeeb: Chrys is a parametric pressure system tailored for pediatric burn recovery. It features a Gradient Topology lattice structure that automatically densifies over scar tissue to apply precise therapeutic pressure (25mmHg) while maximizing breathability in healthy areas. Through a modular identity ecosystem, it separates the medical function from the aesthetic layer, allowing children to wear visually diverse hero avatars such as a lion that can be updated as they grow.
Qhov Loj & Ntim: Custom-fit to individual patient measurements via 3D facial scanning. (Approx. 150mm x 150mm x 120mm, varying by child's age).
Cov Ntsiab Lus: Parametric Design, Generative Design, Pediatric Healthcare, Burn Recovery, Rehabilitation, Social Design, Inclusive Design, Gamification, Destigmatization
Thev Naus Laus Zis Tsim Khoom: The system replaces traumatic plaster casting with pain-free 3D facial scanning. A parametric algorithm generates a gradient topology lattice, optimizing the 15-25mmHg pressure crucial for scar blanching. The medical layer is 3D-printed using ISO-certified biocompatible elastomers (medical-grade TPU and silicone) for skin safe breathability. This functional interface seamlessly integrates with the 3D-printed aesthetic shell, secured by a universal fabric retention strap.
Kev Sib Tw Tsim Qauv: Burn recovery historically prioritized corrective clinical logic, forcing children into a medical gaze that emphasizes deficiency. We challenged this paradigm of concealment. Drawing from disability studies, we navigated the tension between standardized efficacy and a child’s right to visible agency. Externally, we faced a lack of ethical frameworks for distributed pediatric manufacturing and facial data privacy. We shifted from mere inclusion to radical belonging, treating technology not as a cure for deficit, but as a platform for self-actualization in a post-stigmatic society.
Kev Tshawb Fawb: This qualitative research project aims to destigmatize burn recovery. Methodology is guided by STS, medical philosophy, and embodiment theories. Data is collected from from ethnography, interviews, and extensive literature reviews on lived testimonies. Led by Xiang Xu and Tengyu Zhao, Chrys aims to transcend clinical utility to restore human dignity. Our project hopes to impact society by proposing a new approach of transforming medical design to dismantle stigma within healthcare. Future research plan includes long-term UX testing to truly ground this human-centric approach.
Kev Txhawb Siab: Pediatric burn patients face a rigorous 23-hour/day recovery regimen. Traditional skin-tone masks are often stifling and stigmatizing, creating an Uncanny Valley effect that causes severe psychological trauma. This leads to a compliance crisis where children refuse treatment, risking permanent functional contractures. The inspiration was to transform these medical devices from symbols of sickness into empowering armor, allowing children to reclaim their identity and turn scars into superpowers.
Lub Sij Hawm Ua Hauj Lwm: The project started in May 2025 in Shanghai, and finished in December in Shanghai.
Txheej Txheem Ua Hauj Lwm: The recovery journey begins with a gamified companion app. First, a 3D facial scan is taken. Second, the child engages in a gamified co-design process, choosing and customizing their own hero avatar. An AR mirror allows them to preview the mask. Finally, an algorithm generates the pressure-optimized design, which is 3D printed and secured to the child using a standardized, universal rear retention strap.
