PUMICE is a green medical product which cooling your body heat when you have a fever and treat the athletes when they got injured. By using Thermoelectric power generation technology to convert different temperature between patient temperature (fever heat) and ambient temperature into electricity, then activate electronic condensing control system (cooling chips) for cooling effect. Moreover, it helps to solve traditional ice pack problems and integrates all you need when you have the fever.

What if there is a product that can optimize your FEVER experience? Would you like to have it?

STORY
This project started with a basic aim, how to make ice pack consistently cooling and easy to use. Base on this goal, we dug into some applied physics to find some opportunities and new possibilities for this project. Therefore, I found a Thermoelectric cooling chip which usually used for cooling computer or other machinery.
