Diabetic Gadgets by Sascha Morawetz

Filed under: Medicine , Pediatrics

Diabetics continue to complain about the lack of visual design and ergonomic considerations put into the hundreds of devices that are available on the market, and looking back on previous decades makes one want to cry. Designer Sascha Morawetz created two concepts that are pleasure to the eye, and hopefully one day useful for the body. Ninos AS, a nebulizer, may be the foreshadow of the holy grail that Mr Mann is searching for, and the Ninos GL is the quest of the rest of the diabetes device industry.

The inhaler, dubbed “Ninos AS”, generates an insulin aerosol, replacing the common insulin pen. A special thread allows an exact adjustment of the insulin dose. Incorporating a bloodless glucose measurement system, the “Ninos GL” can also be used as a diary, useful for collecting statistics for optimizing therapy.
