Possible duck -mouth replacement must prevent discomfort in women
Tamara Hoveling Found It Tok Took Tokk for the Uncomfortable Duckbill Speculum (A Medical Device for Internal Examination of Women) to Be Replaced. That is why the 28-year-old designer came up with a replacement herself: the lilium. This design is made of flexible plastic, in contrast to the cold and hard duckbill speculum.
Hoveling is affiliated with the faculty of industrial design at TU Delft and Conducted Research on the Duckbill Speculum with student Ariadna Izcara Gual. “It looks like a torture device, as if it comes from a toolbox,” Hoveling Told the Ad . “It’s cold. It hurts. It just Doesn’t Feel Good.”
The Lilium Got its name from Those Three ‘Leaves’ That Open Like A Lily. Hoveling’s design is still a prototype and has -tested on an artificial vagina. The Designer is Hesitant to Say Whether Her Design Will Ultimately Replace It Permanently. But accordance to courting, it could just be a new step for gynecology.
Game Against Tinnitus Wins National Healthcare Innovation Award
The Makers of the Game Freequency won The Public Version of the National Healthcare Innovation Award on Wednesday. The Professional Jury Prize Went to Ezer: An Invention by J58 That Gives Wheelchair Users The Opportunity to stand.
Freequency Should Help People who Suffer From Tinnitus. An Estimated Two Million Dutch People Suffer From Tinnitus at Some Point. All the more reason for the makers to do something about it.
Sophie Asveld From Game Developer Hulan, The Company Behind Freequency, Explains to Omroep Brabant How the Game Works. “First you have to set your tinnitus tone in the tone maker,” She says. Accordance to asveld, the sound that people with tinnitus hear is very different per person. Where one hears a beep or whistle, the other suffers more from a child of noise.
