‘Care’ (Community Alert For Rapid Evacuation) is a multifunctional device designed specifically for rough sleepers in London. Useful as a waterproof backpack by day, and an inflatable pillow by night, it includes a low-power, radio-based flood alert system to help users off the grid keep their belongings and pets safe on the floating pillow as they find shelter in time.
Care
Care was an inter-disciplinary project with industry guidance and collaborations from London borough City of Westminster, European Union Agency for Asylum, Residencia y Servicios Alcobendas (Spain) and Hogar de Cristo (Chile).
Since, it was an academic project with 4 other team members, I am sharing only limited information here.
