Thanks to Design Group Italia for understanding D-Heart and its concept and for helping to make it come true. Together we created a medical device, the portable D-Heart ECG, that concretely helps people with cardiovascular diseases. We are proud to have received yet another important award such as the prestigious "Premio dei Premi. Premio Nazionale per l'Innovazione" (National Innovation Award). We hope that our device will increasingly contribute to save people's lives. #portable #ecg #telemedicine #ecosystem #digitaldesign
D-Heart - the first ECG device for smartphones ideated by the eponymous Italian start up, now the medtech company Strena Medical, and designed by Design Group Italia - has been honored with the prestigious “Premio dei Premi. Premio Nazionale per l’Innovazione” promoted by COTEC - Fondazione per l'Innovazione. Serving as a reliable ally both for final users (patients) and caregivers operating in emergency situations, including the Italian alpine rescue teams and various NGOs worldwide, D-Heart has already sold more than 24.000 units. Distributed in 24 countries with its app available in 10 languages, D-Heart offers to the over 90 million people suffering from cardiovascular diseases in the world and to the estimated additional 570 million currently going undiagnosed mostly due to the lack of proper healthcare the possibility to register a hospital ECG in total autonomy and send the results to the 24/7 tele-cardiology service or to their trusted doctor even where the access to medical care isn’t easy. Awarded the Red Dot 2018, included in the ADI Design Index and winner of the Compasso d'Oro prize in 2020, D-Heart is a successful example of how a #multidisciplinary design approach can brilliantly solve delicate challenges offering up to date and affordable answers. To ensure its affordability, reliability, and user appeal, our Service Design, Product Design, Engineering, and Digital Design teams collaborated with D-Heart. Being recognized as a visionary yet practical project by ADI Associazione per il Disegno Industriale and, upon ADI’s indication, being deemed suitable for the Premio dei Premi established in 2008 by the Italian Government Presidency of the Council of Ministers, reinforces the idea that good design can enhance the quality of life for an ever-increasing number of people worldwide. We are very grateful to have received this further recognition and to have had the chance to meet on the occasion of the award ceremony: Paolo Zangrillo, Minister for Public Administration, Luigi Nicolais, president of Cotec Foundation, Maria Chiara Carrozza, president of Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Massimo Cerofolini, journalist and great innovation expert! Thanks to Antonella Andriani, Vice President #ADI Associazione per il Disegno Industriale, for being with us during this special occasion. #ecosystem #digitaldesign #physicaldesign Design Group Italia: Edgardo Angelini, Chris Miller, Pasquale Cirulli, simona sagripanti, Giuseppe Morbidini, Roberto Beretta, Loris Bottello, Mila Belloni, Daniela Duran Rodriguez, Filippo Aiello D-Heart: Nicolò Briante, Niccolo' Maurizi, Gian Marco Gerosa, Matteo Bettiolo, Licia Calcagno, KAOUTAR GHANANE
