The Smart Aid Kit is a new collaborative project by Map Project Office and Amsterdam innovation design studio Modem, promoting a new vision for accessible, universal healthcare. Its creators describe the project as 'a series of thought-starters that illustrate how design and technology could unlock accessible healthcare for communities across the globe', and it is imagined as a series of essential tools that empower individuals to perform basic triage and receive basic health advice.
Featuring four devices, the Smart Aid Kit is the result of in-depth thinking about the role of AI in healthcare and how we can harness contemporary knowledge to become independent in the management of our care. While still a conceptual design exercise, the work by Map and Modem offers a rethink of basic healthcare that takes into consideration in-depth analysis, prevention and accessibility.
