Beyond a Balloon

Posted on by

I still have a photo of myself at 2 years old in the hospital with a broken leg and a big smile on my face! What could I have possibly been smiling at? Balloons my grandma brought me! There’s a reason they make their way to many hospital bedsides and that’s because they bring joy to people… especially kids!

The Infusion Balloon was designed with this in mind and merges the idea with IV therapy. For little ones, it makes the IV process less scary while providing something to smile about. For caretakers, the design gives an indication when the infusion liquid is near completion by rising (it’s filled with helium) as liquid runs out. After treatment, the infusion bag can be removed and a built-in balloon string pulled out to make it a real balloon as a souvenir for the child!

Infusion Balloon is a 2015 Red Dot Award: Design Concept winner.

IV Made Easy

Posted on by

However useful, IV units can and do become dangerous when neglected. In serious cases, the back-flow of blood from gravity can cause tremendous pain, phlebitis and bruising. With a little help from tablet tech, the E-Drip Stand aims to heighten awareness of each individual IV. The stand itself detects the weight of the bag and relays real-time status to the caretaker’s smart device, also alerting when it’s time to change bags. Rooms and patients are easily identified via a graphic map on the screen, making the nurse rounds more efficient and effective.

Samsung Galaxy S IV screenshots support Smart scroll rumors, add Smart pause (update)

Claimed Samsung Galaxy S IV screenshots support Smart scroll rumors, add Smart Pause

Samsung made a big deal out of its new "Smart" UI tweaks when it launched the Galaxy S III, so the suggestion that it might have its digital tool box out for the next iteration wouldn't surprise us at all. The Smart scroll mooted by the New York Times would appear to be corroborated in the above leaked images. If they are the real-deal, then it's joined by Smart pause, a similar eye-tracking feature that stops any playing video if you glance away. Sammobile also states that the images they received back up claims of a 1080p display, but with sources shrouded in secrecy, and Jeremy earning his keep, the real Smart money suggests you wait a little longer to find out.

Update: Sammobile has since added more info from its source, advising that these are shots from another ROM, intended for the GS III, but still insists its intel confirms these features are coming.

Update 2: Well, Sammobile isn't the only site claiming to have exclusive access to screenshots of upcoming Samsung ROMs. The difference is GSM-Israel isn't claiming to have a GS III update, it believes it has legit screenshots from the Galaxy S IV. There are some notable differences between the two sets of images, implying they're from different devices. The specs betrayed by the various settings apps are right in line with what we're expecting: 1080p screen, quad-core CPU, 13-megapixel camera, etc... We've stuck one image after the break, but you'll find a whole lot more at the source.

IV Made Easy

Posted on by

It’s no wonder that getting an IV at the hospital is scary for a lot of people- it looks scary, can be painful, and often takes more than once to get it right! The Medical Feather is an innovative gadget that uses ultrasound technology to find the vein and mark it with a patch that helps nurses guide the needle to the right spot each time. The cooled patch desensitizes the skin so minimal pain is involved and also acts as a blinder, keeping the needle-to-skin action out of sight so the patient stays calm.
