Wearable

Leah Heiss makes interesting stuff:
  • Patch rings to turn drug-delivery systems that replace needles into fashion statements.
  • Jewellery take can detect & neutralise arsenic in drinking water.
  • Interactive bandages that show the presence of disease.

What I like about LH's work is that takes existing objects and imbues them with new powers. Without being the white, minimal, untouchable Apple-aesthetic that currently dominates technology devices.
