Design that Matters works with the best social enterprises and superstar volunteers to design new products and services for the poor in developing countries.
Check out DtM-v4.0, the first NIH-recommended #faceshield#PPE designed specifically for production at scale via injection molding. This is a remix of DtM-v3.0, the first NIH-recommended #faceshield designed for #3dprinting. https://t.co/iKYnnpuySC
Thrilled to see my alma mater, @harveymudd, #3dprinting the @dtm_tweets#faceshield for their #HealthcareHeroes. The HMC 3D-printers are at the home of Prof David Harris for fabrication. Engineering Dept Chair, Prof Liz Orwin, is covering supply chain, assembly, and donation!
A familiar photo from @AP's @tedswarren in the most recent @Economist, in an article on #makers and designers in the USA responding to the #coronavirus pandemic. https://t.co/68SOy0dPoa
Innovative PAPR hoods made to protect frontline staff from #COVID19 , ready for their journey to @NIOSH for testing. A testament to the ingenuity of VA researchers and soon to be available on @NIH3Dprint ! @VHAInnovation
Experience designing medical devices for low-resource settings influenced how we designed the DtM-v3 #faceshield for #3dprinting and the DtM-v4 face shield for volume manufacturing, both recommended by the @NIH. Take a peek into the design process.#covid19

We donated 175 newly-designed face shields yesterday to #healthcare providers @harborviewmc! Special thanks to GM Nameplate for help with supplies and to Downstream Therapeutics for delivery! #COVID19
We just got our copy in the mail, fantastic reference for folks who want to apply #designthinking to #healthcare--especially during this #COVID19 pandemic which has forced caregivers to rethink and very quickly refashion the entire healthcare system.
Today, 4/28, 4:00pm, conversation with Dr. Bon Ku and Ellen Lupton, Health Design Thinking in the Age of Covid-19, hosted by Dr. Matthew Trowbridge, UVA Medical Design Program. https://t.co/RNNpE76sVo @BonKu@ellenLupton@mtrowbr@UVA@cooperhewitt@mitpress
Paper in @JAMANetwork recommends #faceshields for #community health: "significantly reduces the amount of inhalation exposure" while being easy to wash for re-use and allowing wearers to communicate without removing the PPE. https://t.co/QP0pPXDL7O
Go team! Amazed that our @Prusa3D and our @lulzbot3D have held up after more than a month of round-the-clock printing. The #Seattle#maker community is amazing. So many face shields!
Dr. Andy Homer, Director of the Emergency Department @UWMedicine Valley Medical Center, accepts a donation of #faceshield#PPE. Headbands 3d-printed by @dtm_tweets and #Seattle volunteers, straps donated by @TrelleborgSeals. Have a printer? You can help! https://t.co/2QmBrr8BQw
Huge thanks to Instructor of Design and Wood Fabrication Lucas for an insider tour of @OlinCollege's PPE production...Lucas and the team are working around-the-clock ("What day is today? Blursday?") and we appreciate them!
