Maria Pitallano and Erin Fong, two industrial designers, have come up with a new personal epinephrine injector and epinephrine public injector system: the Epi Inject. Their personal epinephrine injector design won a SPARK International Concept Award in 2011.
They are seeking financial support to help pay for the patent for their two designs and are hoping to partner with a pharmaceutical company. To read more about their work or to contribute toward the patents, please visit the Epi Inject page on indiegogo.
To my untrained eye, the personal injector reminds me of the photos of Auvi-Q I have seen, though I have not seen the Epi Inject or Auvi-Q in person. Personally, I am very intrigued by the public Epi Inject. I wonder if that would be a good tool for restaurants to have on hand.
What do you think?
