Hasta La Ideas

Occurrence of asthma has increased significantly since the 1970s and much of it has been attributed to the increased exposure to airborne chemical triggers. As human bodies strive hard to cope with environments they are not originally intended for, preventive measures attain as much significance as treatments. The ‘Twist+’ dry inhaler makes use of innovative technology to help with both prevention and treatment of Asthma attacks.

Designed by Diana Dumitrescu, the dry powder inhaler also houses a sensor which can detect the presence of Volatile Organic Compounds in the surrounding air. Air quality reports will be then sent to a dedicated smartphone App to warn the user. The handy App can also remind the user in case they forgot the inhaler at home. It can even keep your doctor posted about your health. Further support for asthma management is provided via Twist+ website.

The Twist is a very cool pencil sharpner that takes in any size pencil. The different diameter-sized pencils fit in comfortably thanks to the spring steel body that adjusts to the form. It negates the need for a dedicated sharpener or the need to buy multiple sharpeners to suit your pencils.

The form is simple – bent spring steel with two blades. The spring steel allows the sharpener to expand to suit thicker pencils, and to regain its original form after use. The two blades allow the user to rotate the pencil in either direction. In this way, it suits both right-handed and left-handed people. The slit facilitates the easy removal of any broken leads, which generally tend to get stuck inside sharpeners.

The Twist is a 2012 red dot award: design concept winner.
