Urban Jungle Ambulance

Urban Jungle Ambulance

Increased traffic congestion in urban areas means loss of crucial time for emergency medical teams to reach those in need (trust me, I’ve seen that Los Angeles is a medic’s worst nightmare). Designed to Roam and Rescue within Reduced-space environments, the R-aid is an ambulance attachment optimized for being pulled by motorcycle (here, the Yamaha Tesseract concept) that can quickly deliver medical attention where its needed.

Anytime, Anywhere Deliverable Hospital

Anytime, Anywhere Deliverable Hospital

Designer Kukil Han imagines a go-anywhere solution for providing aid to victims of natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, tsunamis and storms. The Mobile Hospital could be delivered to any part of the world (including hard to reach areas) in a matter of hours via helicopter, or be transported on a larger scale by ship, providing emergency medical attention to those in need. This thoughtful design can also be customized to provide support to specific needs with relative ease, furthering its adaptability to a number of scenarios.

A Little Improvement Goes a Long Way

A Little Improvement Goes a Long Way

Vapen is a simple, yet ingenious improvement on the guide dog harness that incorporates a ball joint socket into the handle of the harness, providing people with visual impairments strengthened communication with their animal and improving ergonomics for their hand. The ball joint socket also allows the  harness to be reassembled into a walking cane, reducing the number of items the user must carry. For further customization the handle and cane are adjustable in length to fit various users and dogs.

Doze

Doze

No matter what age you are, being well rested can mean the difference between a good or bad start of the day. Doze is a sleep positioner designed for disabled children, particularly those who suffer from muscle tension and loss of muscle tone, that assists with side-lying posture at bedtime. The pod decreases the risk of sleeping in awkward positions that may interfere with growth, put pressure on the spine, as well as air flow, which can cause severe breathing problems.

The Whenever, Wherever Epi-Injector

The Whenever, Wherever Epi-Injector

If you have or know someone who has a food allergy you know the consequences of a negative reaction can be scary and life-threatening. Even though the CDC has reported an 18% increase in food allergies in the last decade, many are still reluctant to carry an Epi-Pen. The Epi-Inject collection of personal and public emergency adrenaline injectors aims to break stigma and provide an easy, non-jabbing method of treatment that anyone can administer.

VW Rescue Rover

VW Rescue Rover

Living by the beach I’ve seen a handful of people be rescued by lifeguards, & I always wonder why the lifeguard system doesn’t invest in a single water-to-land vehicle rather than… take the pickup to the shore, to launch the jet-ski, to swim, & rescue the person. It seems a lot more practical right? Inspired by the 1940s Volkswagen Type 166, designer Sebastian Toddenroth came up with this amphibious Volkswagen Beach Rescue rover to make lifeguards’ jobs a tad easier and rescues a lot quicker.

Radiation Warning From a Bracelet

Radiation Warning From a Bracelet

There are stacks of documented studies on the effects of radiation on pregnant women. The most detrimental being the inability of the embryonic cell to properly divide and split. CARE is a bracelet designed to alert women of radiation levels in the immediate vicinity. The bracelet changes color and vibrates when levels are high enough to potentially harm the growing fetus.
