Hear Clear and Healthily

Hear Clear and Healthily

One problem with conventional hearing aids is their tendency to cause infection and ear drum damage from moisture, as well as feedback if not properly placed in the ear. To alleviate these issues, this updated hearing aid design features directional speakers that leave the canal exposed so the ear can “breathe.” Because it’s directional, sound doesn’t return to the microphone and cause feedback. Better yet, no mold is required as it clips on the ear and can be adjusted accordingly.

Instant Insulin You Can Wear

Instant Insulin You Can Wear

Even though insulin pumps are considered a more effective and easier treatment for those with type 1 diabetes, only 20% of adults use them because the device must be worn at all times. Many opt for the painful daily injection instead. MOVE is an insulin pump designed for a more active lifestyle, shaping to the wearers body in a more comfortable, discreet way. Placeable on any part of the body, it’s less noticeable to the wearer so they can live the active lifestyle they deserve! See how it works autonomously —>

The Carry Pill

The Carry Pill

Mainly intended for the silver generation, I love the simplicity of the Convenient Pill Box. It combines the convinence of carrying your daily meds with a PET water bottle by integrating as bottle cap. The shape is ergonomic and makes it easy to open the bottle and the “Date Setting” on the pill box prevents the users from taking the expired pills. Easy and awesome!

Smart Stretcher

Smart Stretcher

Lenify is a collapsible emergency stretcher that all but eliminates the chances of secondary injuries caused by lifting patients onto the stretcher. The solution: divide the stretcher into three parts to stabilize the upper body, arms/midsection, and lower body. This unique construction makes it possible to “scoop” the individual into the stretcher rather than the traditional “lift and drop” method.

Painless Vaccinations

Painless Vaccinations

I would do anything to not make my baby go through painful vaccinations, but the hard truth is that they simply must. Keeping this in mind we have the VACC-STAMP, which offers a safe and painless way to give vaccine shots. It leaves them with a heart-shaped stamp on their skin rather than a face full of tears!

Not your Granny's pill case...

Not your Granny’s pill case…

This cleverly designed pill case takes inspiration from an unlikely source, but actually proves to be quite functional! Adopting the form of the iconic Russian Matryoshka doll (you know, the type we loved to play with as kids where there’s a doll nested inside a doll, inside a doll, inside another doll!), the pill container easily divides daily doses in a fun & logical way. Better yet, each tumbler not only holds & separates medication, but also doubles as a drinking glass for the water necessary to swallow pills!

Amphibious Prosthesis

Amphibious Prosthesis

It’s easy to take for granted little things like running on the beach & swimming. Murr-ma is a specialized prosthesis that extends these experiences to amputees or those with mobile disability. Inspired by the dorsal fin of the sailfish, the fins channel the water flow alongside the carbon fiber backbone & out at the sides, providing the wearer with the necessary thrust to move through the water. The split toe design also makes it possible to easily transition from sand to surf.
