Matt Canham’s Hplus concept collection is a suite of six personal health-monitoring devices that
gather data on nine chronic conditions. Sensors include a spirometer, a urine-analyser and
a finger-prick blood tester. Data accessible to both clinicians and patients is meant to improve the
overall accuracy of current treatments. Canham’s prototypes show a departure from the market in
their emphasis on materiality. Ceramic and wood create a sense of warmth and approachability. By
entirely foregoing digital elements such as screens and LED indicators, the UK designer grounds
his devices in a domestic context.
