Industrial designer Hans Ramzan and UX designer Mily Sin created a health-monitoring Dip wearable that offers a non-invasive solution for tracking hemoglobin levels in real-time to empower, support and inform women who are impacted by anemia. Prolonged iron deficiency often goes undetected yet it impacts countless people, many of them women.
Dip is a simple wearable that takes the form of a wristband and sensor device with only three functions: setup, tracking and analyzing. Once secured within the soft silicone band, the sensor syncs to a companion app via Bluetooth provide insights that may help to improve an individual's health through supplementation or adjustments to their lifestyle.
Dip also reveals patterns in a user's hemoglobin levels so that they can better understand their total health without the need for frequent testing.
