How can bedroom hygiene be improved?

Summary of the project

Hygenius is a product for people who live on their own for the first time. It can be hard to keep track of all the tasks you should do to keep your bedroom hygiene at its best. Hygenius reminds you to regularly wash your sheets, open your windows, vacuum your carpet and clean your room. Every morning it will tell you what tasks should be done. Those daily tasks are often forgotten because we’re not aware of how important they are. This physical device will therefore increase the awareness of bedroom hygiene, by interacting with it. Every disk represents a different task and by interacting with those disks, you will be actively involved in the hygiene of your bedroom. With Hygenius we want to bring more awareness about the importance of these tasks for healthy bedroom hygiene.
