Experience Design student Sara Tunheden won the special prize for best mobile application in this year’s Idea competition organized by among others the Karolinska Institutet Science Park. The competition had about 260 participants.
- The idea behind the service ​​”BVC support” is to strengthen and facilitate communication between the BVC nurse and the parents, says Sara. After delivery, the service can help the BVC nurse keep an extra eye on new mothers and thereby detect early signals from those who may be suffering from postpartum depression.
- When the child grows older the service will change focus and develop into an application where parents can keep track of their child’s development, immunizations and appointments, reports Sara.
Sara has a background as industrial designer and did her bachelor at Umeå School of Design. She has previously worked at the Interactive Institute in creating design solutions to make people aware of their electricity usage. While studying at Konstfack, Sara runs along with a colleague a design studio called Studio Frankness.
