Using principles of design, ergonomics, innovation, health, and workplace safety, Smart Aid was developed to enhance the effectiveness of first aid response in high-risk work environments such as factories, industries, and construction sites.
The project aims to bring improvements to a sector that typically relies on basic, generic first aid kits, without considering the comfort of the injured worker at a critical moment. By addressing this gap, Smart Aid seeks to accelerate recovery and reduce the risk of permanent health damage for injured employees.
Smart Aid features an interactive guide display with direct connection to first responders, a support tray for performing procedures, and compartments equipped with the necessary supplies for all major types of first aid, including burns, immobilizations, and wound care. Additionally, it includes a container for the preservation of severed limbs in case of amputations.
The station is composed of modular components that can be configured according to the needs of the environment. The compartments and display are designed for use at the station itself or for transport to the accident site if necessary. The supplies in the compartments are quick-access refills that can be used with just one hand. After use, they can be replaced from the back using a simple tab-insert mechanism.
