This is a blood pressure measuring device designed specifically for children, from its appearance to the user experience. During use, the cuff is inflated and the pressure gradually increases, while a one-way air valve on the cuff inflates a beautiful star. Children are curious and fearful of this medical process, which is symbolized as receiving a trophy, greatly reducing their fear of medical experiences. After bravely completing this "war," the children will receive a small star wand as a prize.
This work won the 2023-INTERNATIONAL DESIGN EXCELLENCE AWARDS.
