Medical items come in handy at all times, as it is common for one to have small scratches and wounds. Say, paper cuts on the finger, wounds from tripping over, or scratched heels from a new pair of shoes.

In most cases, these small wounds have an urgent need for medical items, such as plasters. However, only a small amount would be needed.

We observed that there are vending machines for snacks and drinks around the streets, but no vending machines for medical items or sanitary products, which makes it hard for people to deal with unexpected and sudden incidents in daily life.

In light of this issue, we hope to manufacture a vending machine for first-aid and sanitary products that can achieve the aim of “only buying what you need”, breaking the habit of having to buy a whole box of items for each incident. Besides, the product will be stationed at eye- catching spots in parks, stations of different transportation, shopping malls, public toilets, and other places where there is a high flow of people. We aim to increase the convenience of buying needed medical and sanitary products, benefiting the public.

Convenient, fast and reducing waste are the three main features of our product. The product can be found easily at different places and its operation is no different than typical vending machines. At the same time, it can reduce waste of medical items due to repeatedly buying boxes of medical items for each incident.
