Accessible Adrenaline Auto-injector
Anaphylaxis is when someone suffers from a severe allergic reaction. To treat this, they need to be injected with a dose of adrenaline as soon as possible. However, some anaphylactic sufferers do not always carry an auto-injector with them and it could be life threatening if they have an allergic reaction.
An accessible adrenaline auto-injector would be located in public places for emergency anaphylactic situations. Simply input the access code given from a 999 operator, turn the handle and an auto-injector will be dispensed. Ultimately this could save someone’s life.
