easyaid
EasyAid is a compact ointment and bandage dispenser for quick, hygienic first aid. Its one-handed operation ensures cleanliness and convenient access.
Injuries can happen anywhere, and applying a bandage can be challenging.
Applying a bandage one-handed is tough due to multiple steps: ointment, packaging, and securing.
Our product simplifies applying ointment and a bandage with one hand.
Behavior Mapping
To identify the challenges of using a bandage, I conducted behavioral mapping to observe how users apply bandages. The research revealed that it is particularly difficult to apply a bandage with one hand when hand movement is limited due to injury.
Interview
I interviewed potential users and analyzed responses, identifying three themes: applying antiseptic, bandage packaging, and ease of carrying.
I prioritized problems from each theme, identifying core issues and key findings.
- It is difficult to keep the bandage clean when carrying it.
- Users desire a smoother, more efficient process for applying both the ointment and the bandage.
Market Research
I conducted market research to understand current product trends and analyze the limitations of existing products in the market. This research aimed to help establish a unique selling point and develop a distinguishable solution that stands out in the current market.
Key findings from the market research include:
- A lack of products simplifies the bandage application process.
- Insufficient consideration for users who need to apply bandages when one hand is unavailable.
Through behavioral mapping, interviews, and market research, this is the problem I identified.
The bandage packaging is hard to open one-handed, difficult to keep clean, and lacks a clear application process.
Develop innovative bandage packaging that streamlines the application, ensuring ease of use and hygiene.
