SureShot

Smart medical supply chain

This product helps government bodies and pharmaceutical manufacturers monitor the use of vaccines in developing countries. The system uses machine learning to identify geolocation, other details related to the recipient, and information on the medical provider. A thermochromic material layer in the syringe also helps determine if an individual product is likely to fail in cold-chain. The adhesive layer on the label lets it double as a bandage after injection. The SureShot mobile app allows consumers to scan the vaccine syringe before injection to quickly acquire relevant information.

JURY STATEMENT

We are witnessing the crucial importance of vaccines in these difficult times. People with pre-existing medical conditions are in high-risk groups during pandemics. SureShot is a well-thought-through design solution featuring and advanced user experience, value propositioning and system level design.

WINNER STATEMENT

When we designed SureShot, we were thinking of the millions of people who are deprived of basic health care and safe medicine. We believe design has a huge role to play in alleviating some of the most critical humanitarian crises. In times such as these, we would like to express our deep gratitude to all medical professionals for their hard work in making our world safe and healthy.
