Entry Description

Currently, only four percent of New Zealanders donate blood each year (five percent USA).

Share is a new and unique system that aims to increase this figure by creating a positive and friendly experience and help to bring greater public awareness to the importance of donating blood.

Share does this by putting a focus on comfort and relaxation and allowing social interaction whilst giving blood.

People need more incentives, such as an enticing, less clinical setting.
With Share, donors are able to enjoy a more relaxing ‘café’ style experience whilst giving blood, and can do so as individuals or in groups.

Share is designed to be a unique system consisting of one table, two chairs and two trolleys, which allow the layout to be changed to suit either an individual or a group of donors.

The overall design layout takes up only a small footprint, with full consideration of ergonomics for both the nurse and donor being taken into account during the design process.
