Rediroom Awarded Good Design Award – Gold Award

by

Rediroom — Instant Patient Isolation Room received a prestigious Good Design Award Gold Accolade in the Engineering Design category in recognition for outstanding design and innovation at this year’s Good Design Awards.

Care Strategic along with its partner GAMA Healthcare and collaborator Design + Industry received the award as part of the 2021 Good Design Week by Gooddesign.org.

The Good Design Awards Jury commented: “With global cases of COVID-19 now over 200 million, and many healthcare systems struggling to provide the sort of safe isolation facilities needed to care for critically ill patients, this product has very strong global appeal. The innovation comes from finding a solution using standard methods, but in unique ways — and with a particular focus on speed of implementation. It’s an impressive design for many good reasons. This design scored highly on impact — for the benefits it can have in our current health crisis and future ones (antibiotic resistant bacteria), highly for innovation (a new design that adds value) and high for design. Overall, this is a highly professional piece of design that deserves to be recognised and celebrated in these Awards. Bravo.”

Care Strategic’s Head of Design remarked, “This is a great achievement for the team. We were so happy to receive a Best in Class Award yesterday for the Rediroom for Product Design. And today’s win recognises the mechanical engineering complexity that has been hidden inside the Rediroom to make it an intuitive and easy to use device – to make it so fast and easy to deploy. Thank you Good Design and to all those who have made the Rediroom a success especially our clinical and design teams, and of course GAMA Healthcare and Design + Industry.”

Rediroom Awarded Good Design Award – Best in Class

by

Rediroom has been awarded Best in Class for Product Design in the Medical and Scientific Category at this year’s Good Design Awards.

Care Strategic along with its partner GAMA Healthcare and collaborator Design + Industry received the award as part of the 2021 Good Design Week by Gooddesign.org.

Co-Founder and Head of Design at Care Strategic, James Burkwood, said, “We are excited to be recognised by our peers along with our good friends at Gama Healthcare and Design + Industry. The Rediroom has been a big part of our journey. It has given us opportunity to expand and strengthen our networks, to see what we can be achieved with good research and design thinking. We are seeing the Rediroom have a positive impact in the world…to now receive this award is a great honour!”

The Good Design Awards Jury praised the Rediroom for the intuitive and simple nature of the Rediroom’s deployment and use. James Burkwood said he was particularly pleased that this effort had been acknowledged, saying that the whole team had put considerable expertise into getting this right.

 The Good Design Awards Jury commented: “This is a timely and clever design that has the potential for enormous impact. Minimising cross contamination in hospitals is a global aim, particularly at the present time. The simple process of setting up the room, usage of colour-coded and numbered tabs is really intuitive. The HEPA filtration and ease of sterilising are critical features that have been addressed. The design also solves common challenges such as portability, being able to easily see the patient, and ensuring the entry/exit stays closed. Amazing!”

Dr. Brandon Gien, CEO of Good Design Australia said: “Receiving an Australian Good Design Award is testament to embedding design excellence at the heart of a product, service, place or experience. Although 2021 continues to be another challenging year, it is incredibly inspiring to see designers and businesses working together to find innovative, customer-centric design solutions to local and global challenges and to see them recognised and rewarded for their efforts through these prestigious Awards.”

“The importance of embracing good design principles is now more important than ever as many businesses around the world have had to completely re-think their business strategies to remain competitive. The standard of design excellence represented in this year’s Awards is the best I’ve ever seen in my 25 years of running these Awards, an encouraging sign that the design sector is flourishing,” Dr. Gien went on to say.

Redirooms Installed in London Hospitals

by
Evelina London has become the first children’s hospital in the world to use pop-up isolation rooms to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Evelina London’s hospital has five Redirooms, which are temporary spaces created to seal off the area around a bed or a cot in order to isolate patients with infections, including COVID-19.

Evelina London currently has very few children with COVID-19 at our hospital, however COVID-19 and many other infections are spread through contact and the air via droplets. The unit contains a special filter that removes droplets containing micro-organisms from the air. The temporary units are stored in a compact wheeled cart, which can be taken to the wards where they are needed and put together in around five minutes.

Shona Perkins, our deputy director for infection prevention and control, said: “The Redirooms provide additional space to safely treat and isolate patients with coronavirus and other infections, such as the flu, mumps and meningitis.

“We are also using them to treat patients who are suspected of having COVID-19 while the result of their test is processed.

“Previously we would use a side room to treat these types of patients, but we can now ensure our side rooms are kept free for patients with complex health conditions or patients who require extra protection from others

“The safety of our staff and patients is of utmost importance to us and the Redirooms are in addition to the many extra steps we have taken in recent months to reduce the risk of COVID-19.

“It’s understandable that our patients and their families are feeling anxious or concerned about attending their appointments but I want to reassure them that it’s safe to come to our hospitals and community sites.”

Extensive measures are in place at Evelina London to keep patients and staff safe when attending our hospital and community sites, and it’s important if you have been invited to a face to face appointment or procedure, that you still attend. The measures include requiring all staff and visitors to sanitise their hands on entering the building and to follow government advice on wearing face coverings. More frequent cleaning is in place and rooms and equipment are thoroughly cleaned between appointments. Only one parent or carer can accompany a child to their appointment and there are gaps between appointments and fewer clinics running at the same time to limit the number of people in the building. In addition, transparent acrylic screens called KwickScreens have been installed on wards between bays to maintain social distancing.

There are plans to have Redirooms available to use at Guy’s Hospital and St Thomas’ Hospital, which are part of the same NHS Trust as Evelina London.

Hospitals install pop-up Covid-19 isolation bays

by

Six NHS Trusts across England are fitting pop-up isolation rooms in their hospitals.

Royal Derby Hospital, part of University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust, has just installed 25 of the pop-up bays in their medical assessment unit, to separate patients until they receive the results of a Covid-19 test.

The temporary rooms which are stored in a compact wheeled cart, can be erected in around five minutes to provide an individual room to isolate patients.

Known as ‘Redirooms’, they were the brainchild of an Australian nurse who was concerned about keeping infectious patients on the ward until a single room was available.
