VERIFY
Drug scanning + clarification tool
Verify is a handheld tool that assists paramedics when administrating drugs. Helping to prevent medication error caused by confusing or frustrating labels, while providing reassuring access to supporting drug information and uploading patient treatment information during stressful situations.
Verify was a joint collaboration between laerdal Medical (Norway) and Umea Institute of Design (Sweden) over a 10 week period. Research and synthesis was undertaken between 10 designers, before individuals developed an area of interest from ideation to refined concept and prototype.

MANUAL LABELING
