iF Design - Combined Band Aid Vaccine

BACK TO RESULTS (0)

Vaccine, disinfectant tissue

This innovative vaccine delivery concept allows users to inject a vaccine into their own arms in two easy steps. After sterilization, the band-aid plaster is attached to the arm and the vaccine is administered via a water-soluble polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) microneedle. This concept has multiple advantages over conventional syringe-based injection: it is convenient, painless, hygienic, and very easy to self-administer. It also reduces the risk of infection due to unsterile needles and greatly reduces costs related to transport, storage, and administration.

JURY STATEMENT

Two major problems are solved: needle misuse due to unsanitary conditions, and slow dissemination due to personnel bottlenecks - beautifully executed.

WINNER STATEMENT

I'm so excited to receive the best recognition of design as a student, and l want to say it out loud: I did it! I believe that design can benefit the world, and I will continue to create more good designs in the future!
