Rollerball Itch Relief
An itch relief companion for eczema patients
Most eczema patients scratch until their skin is torn despite knowing they shouldn’t, leading to feelings of helplessness and guilt during flare-ups. This product offers a safer itch relief experience. Rolling over the skin, textures on the ball press into and interrupt the itch pathways to the brain while the rolling mechanism ensures that the skin is not torn even when used vigorously. Its three-part case can be taken apart for easy cleaning. This simple product is part of an approach to pain and symptom management that focuses on helping people go about their daily lives.
This concept does not solve the problem of eczema but eases the burden of those with the condition. The design is impressively and innovatively simple, which means it can be scaled up easily.
WINNER STATEMENTI am thankful to the iF jury for validating and acknowledging our contribution to making the suffering of eczema patients a bit more bearable.
