Problem
Problema

High mountain hikers enter environments that present extreme and challenging conditions, even for the most experienced people in the area, where they face intense cold, thick fog, powerful precipitation, high levels of humidity, intense changes in pressure, low oxygen levels, uneven terrain, among others; which includes situations where all kinds of risks or important emergency circumstances can occur, which in fact have been occurring over the years, and it becomes evident that hikers lack tools or devices that include systems that allow them to face situations that require search and rescue, survival or medical assistance. This represents a potential area for the design and development of a multifunction product that contemplates all the needs as an emergency accessory for high mountain hikers, a problem that may be essential to address, due to the current limitations of the traditional devices available in the market.

Los excursionistas de alta montaña se adentran en entornos que presentan condiciones extremas y desafiantes, hasta para las personas más experimentadas en el área, en donde se enfrentan a fríos intensos, niebla espesa, poderosas precipitaciones, altos niveles de humedad, cambios intensos de presión, bajos niveles de oxígeno, terrenos irregulares, entre otros; lo que figura situaciones en donde pueden ocurrir todo tipo de riesgos o circunstancias de emergencia importantes, que de hecho han estado ocurriendo a lo largo de los años, y se hace evidente el hecho de que los excursionistas carecen de herramientas o artefactos que contemplen sistemas que les permitan afrontar situaciones que requieran búsqueda y rescate, supervivencia o auxilio medico.
Esto supone un área potencial, para el diseño y desarrollo de un producto multifunción que contemple todas las necesidades como un accesorio de emergencia para excursionistas de alta montaña, una problemática que puede ser fundamental atenderla, debido a las limitaciones actuales de los artefactos tradicionales disponibles en el mercado. 



Proposal
Propuesta

Development of a multifunction, compact and lightweight product that covers the needs of geolocation, emergency communication and monitoring of the user's physical condition, as an emergency accessory for high mountain hikers. That it is resistant to drastic changes in climate, as well as shocks or external agents that may represent a deterioration in its configuration.

Desarrollo de un producto multifunción, compacto y ligero que cubra las necesidades de geolocalización, comunicación de emergencia y seguimiento del estado físico del usuario, como un accesorio de emergencia para excursionistas de alta montaña. Que sea resistente a cambios drásticos del clima, así como a golpes o agentes externos que puedan representar un deterioro en su configuración.

Evaluation of existing products
Evaluación de productos existentes

Carrying out a comparative evaluation of competing products allows you to analyze which existing technologies are applied and which are the needs that these products have addressed and which have been left out, in order to determine points of improvement and identify design opportunities.

Realizar una evaluación comparativa de los productos de la competencia, permite analizar cuáles son las tecnologías existentes aplicadas y cuáles son las necesidades que dichos procutos han abordado y cuáles han dejado por fuera, para poder determinar los puntos de mejora e identificar oportunidades de diseño.
