BUDDIE is a smart bandage solution designed to improve wound care for children by addressing hygiene, efficiency, and comfort. Traditional bandages often require cutting, introducing contamination and reducing adhesive strength. BUDDIE dispenses bandages in the right size and type automatically, ensuring a hygienic application. Kids can customize their bandages, reducing anxiety and discouraging premature removal. Additionally, the bandage changes color to indicate when it’s time for replacement. By integrating hygiene, functionality, and emotional support, BUDDIE offers a unique, user-focused solution for pediatric care.
