Orgarhythm turns the user’s hand into the interface for a system that measures different aspects of personal wellness and health. It is swallowed and then travels to the hand where it creates interface dials on the palm while tuning in to the user’s personal rhythms. As well as providing the time and addressing key health indicators such as heart rate and nutrition, it reveals how balanced one’s day has been between work, rest, and play. Thus Orgarhythm links measured time to a more organic sense of time.
Andrewes: Orgarhythm takes the original approach of using the body as the hardware by transforming the hand into the actual instrument. This idea shows great originality and, perhaps with continuing rapid developments in biotechnology, not as far-fetched in the future as some might believe.

Antonelli: One of the very few proposals that uses the body as an interface, the Orgarhythm signifies, in a very direct way, the idea of time being a personal concept.
