Happy Pen

About this project

The TOM:Philips team designed a canister with a cooling gel that holds the epipen and activates at 27 degrees, starts to beep at 29 degrees, and turns on a red light when temperatures reach 30 degrees (telling the user to replace it).

The challenge

This is especially challenging in warmer climates like Israel. Bar’s mother works at Philips and presented the challenge hoping to develop a solution.

Who it helps

Bar is 6 years old and is allergic to nuts. When the temperature rises above 15-30 degrees Celsius, his Epipen needs to be replaced.
