As a student taking online college classes under quarantine times, there are many problems for shared-home users, such as diversity in lifestyles, daily schedules, habits and details like household chores. According to research, 1800+ U.S. Colleges and Universities closed their campuses during pandemic & switching to online courses, and 45% of students ever have experienced relationship problems or encounter more than average stress. Inconveniences about staying home during COVID include home cleaning as a major cause of young adult's anxiety. Consequently, I intend to design an interactive cleaning-manager device to solve this problem. Consequently, Hygi is developed as a solution. It is a wall-mounted interactive device to organize cleaning, and get connection from your smartphone portal interface. The interface is designed into three parts to support the using experience, including a main interface on the wall-mounted hub, an interface for smartphone tracking app, and an interface for devices like laptop screens.
