Most of patients don’t carry their Epinephrine auto-injector around and usually after 3 months, they forget how to use EpiPen. EpiShell Epinephrine Injector is a concept EpiPen inspired by the use of smartphone. Yes, most people have and carry this little gadget as if their life depends on it, patients also need to make an emergency call after injection, not to mention smartphone also functions as reminder and deflect medical fear. This project combines portable power charger for your smartphone with Epi-pen, it works as a complement of your smartphone and health.
The goal of EpiShell design is to become a user-centered solution for Epinephrine injector carriers, hopefully it deflects user’s fear for using an injector and reminds patients to always carry it daily. The integrated wireless mobile charger, Bluetooth connection and voice guidance make it a handy device to carry. The voice guidance feature is activated automatically from the cell phone when EpiShell is opened. There are only 3 easy steps to perform the injection. User has the ability to manage functions of this medical device such as IFU, emergence contact, Bluetooth connection, and refill/exp. date reminder. It works more than just medical device in your daily life.
