Alerting Boiled Water Discs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Water Boil Alert Disc Aids Visual Impairments or Memory Challenges

— December 20, 2023 — Social Good
Introducing the water boil alert disc, a transformative solution catering to individuals with blindness, partial-sightedness, forgetfulness, or dementia. This innovative device is designed to address a common safety concern in kitchens—forgetting a boiling pot on the stove.

The alert disc is a simple yet effective metal object. It contains numerous channels that capture bubbles during the boiling process. Once the water has reached a boiling point, the metal disc will start to clammer and shake against the pot, providing an unavoidable audio cue to either remind the user of the task, or inform the user of the boiled water.

This straightforward mechanism ensures that those with visual impairments or memory challenges are promptly alerted when their pot is boiling.
