About

Xinyi Bai excels in human-centred and speculative futures design, focusing on nature-based solutions for sustainable innovation. She emphasises humanistic care and pragmatism, using non-human systems to address contemporary challenges and solve problems. By fostering emotional connections between humans and nature, Bai aims to highlight their interdependence, promoting cultural change and a deeper awareness of the links between nature, technology, and the economy.

ELF is the 21 st-century care service for the elderly. New wearable devices are used to detect various body data of the elderly and send alerts when abnormal data appears. It is also able to provide fall protection measures. This design is based on the trend that modern society is becoming more and more globally integrated, with young people working far away from home all year round. The number of empty nesters is increasing. The social welfare security system cannot take care of the needs of the elderly living alone. The aim is to provide new functional clothing for the elderly that is safer and more comfortable.
