Paula Terra has been awarded the ADI Silver Medal by the ADI-FAD Industrial Design Association for her Final Degree in Design Project for the Dröp, a non-invasive treatment for type 1 diabetes, and Manu González has been awarded the ADI Opinion Medal for his Final Degree in Design Project TMBLight.
Dröp is a medical solution consisting of three devices (wearable, app and insulin pen) that manages and simplifies the treatment of diabetes in a simple, pleasant and user-friendly way. The system provides a continuous flow of information between devices, and allows for the reduction and optimisation of procedures and devices needed to follow a proper treatment.
The jury of the 28th edition of the ADI Medals awarded the ADI Silver Medal to this project "for providing, with a set of products, a proposal that through design and technology allows to manage and simplify the treatment of diabetes in a simple, pleasant and close to the user. In this way, the user experience to which thousands of people are subjected every day is improved".
The ADI Medal of Opinion award, presented by the ADI-FAD partners, was for Manu González and his TMBLight project, an RGB lighting device suspended from the ceiling of underground stations, developed to improve the user experience. It is a signage system generated from a luminaire installed along the platform, which shows the number of people in each of the carriages. In this way, the people located on the platform can identify the areas with the most and least use in each car and distribute themselves according to this information before the metro arrives.
82 projects from 22 university centres took part in the 28th edition of the ADI Medals.
