Tunghai University-News--Innovations of the Department of Industrial Design won the 2016 Red Dot Design Awards
Designed by senior studentsYu-Chi Wang, Yu-Man Huang, and Chia-Ling Chen, BoneAid is a set of fracture fixation boards specifically designed for emergency needs in disasters. BoneAid can be folded into various shapes to stabilize body parts that have sustained bone injuries. It only requires one mold to mass-produce the product, which is flat-packed for easy storage and can be easily supplied to disaster zones or areas that lack sufficient medical resources, increasing the quality and efficiency of disaster aids.

Also seniors, Yun-Jen Jang and Wei-Chun Lin designed a new ice pack with silicone material. By using the triangular-shaped gel pack, Nice Tri can be comfortably and intimately attached to human skin. It allows the positioning of the “ice” to be composed to achieve the best cooling effect and prevent secondary injuries.
Graduate of the Department of Industrial Design, Shin-Yu Huang’s design, Oscare, is a set of equipment designed to help ostomy patients with moving around. It aims to decrease patients’ negative feelings when using the equipment and eventually encourage colostomy patients go about their daily lives with greater ease. By changing the materials used, Oscare reduces the size of the ostomy bag, removes the smell, and changes the colostomy image. Oscare is a disposable ostomy bag with a layer of SAP (superabsorbent polymer) high molecular absorption cloth, which can absorb up to 60 times its own volume. The decrease in size should effectively encourage colostomy patients to face the changes in their bodies and lives with better adaptation. The design elements added to the medicine bottles also work to change users’ moods.
Students displayed their award-winning designs with the department Chair Dr. Yao-Tsung Ko
According to Tunghai President Mao-Jiun Wang, Tunghai has been actively cultivating talents to innovate and create ideas. The College of Fine Arts and Creative Design has remarkable success in various international competitions and awards. Under the foundation of design, research, and development, it is highly anticipated and encouraged for industries to support the students’ designs and ideas for further market opportunities. Department Chair Mike Ko also pointed out that besides encouraging students to continue exploring and creating, the Department of Industrial Design had been collaborating with industries and corporates in order to practice both applications and theories. He hoped that industries would commit greater support to students from the department.
Red Dot Design Award is ranked alongside with Germany’s iF Design Award, United States of America’s International Design Excellence Awards, and Japan’s Good Design Award. Nearly 4,698 entries from 60 countries were submitted for the competition to the 2016 Red Dot Design Award.
