Dose

Description

Dose is a new approach to child medication that combines a deep understanding of users with proven technologies. Administering medication to children is difficult, with an estimated 40% failure rate at home. The consequences of overdose can include development problems in kidneys, liver and respiratory functions. Dose brings the Victorian spoon and bottle approach of medication into the 21st century and creates a system that radically cuts down on user error and overdose damage.

Statement of the jury

The smart system consists of dosing syringe and app, ensuring children get their medications in safe dosages. To do this, the child’s age and weight are simply entered into the app. The app then displays the amount to be administered, which must then be applied to the syringe. The dosing syringe and app are intuitive to operate and have a modern design.
