IVY
Designing Medical Technology From the Patient’s Perspective
Description
The innovative power of recent years has opened up completely new potential in the field of medicine for outpatient self-care for patients in their familiar environment. Ambulatory infusion therapies give people freedom of movement, flexibility and the ability to go about their daily lives. The ‘IVY’ project is designed to focus on the needs of users and to look at medical technology from a new, human-centred, non-stigmatising perspective. The concept of an infusion pump and matching bag supports mobility in daily life, facilitates self-care and seeks to meet the widest possible range of fashion needs.
