Amazon Fresh Controlled Outdoor Signage
IMPACT AREA: Sustainable Cities and Communities
COLLABORATOR: Amazon
MistyWest was subcontracted to develop a prototype for AmazonFresh’s new rapid grocery pickup service. This entailed designing a unit according to the client’s existing Industrial Design Volume, in addition to being resistant to the variables of outdoor climate, and meeting requirements of UL certification.

Pre-Eclampsia Diagnostic Device
IMPACT AREA: Good Health & Well Being
COLLABORATOR: Lions Gate Technology
MistyWest was contracted to design, fabricate, and assemble an interface for a multi-sensor medical diagnostic platform intended to help identify pre-eclampsia in pregnant women in remote areas. 800 units were designed and assembled within 6 weeks, including design of a PCB to translate the audio signal to a digital input suitable for android tablets, and an enclosure suited for rapid low-volume manufacture. This device has been used in a broad clinical trial overseas, and several cases of Pre-Eclampsia have been identified and averted using field interventions.

Copenhagen Wheel
IMPACT AREA: Affordable and Clean Energy
COLLABORATOR: MIT University
Based on technology invented by MIT, Superpedestrian founding members reached out to MistyWest to make the next generation prototype for the Copenhagen Wheel that was reliable and cost effective.
