    Innovative design can surely make a world of difference in our everyday lives. Take a simple trash can, for example—sure, it does the job as is. But a designer might think, "Why stop there?" By adding a section for recycling, they’re not just improving functionality—they’re helping the environment too.

    Sometimes, it's the simplest tweak that transforms a product from "just okay" to "wow, this is actually really helpful!" When designers think outside the box, they create solutions that can make daily life smoother for us.

    In my area we have an incredible public playground that is designed for kids of any ability. There are many items like this. The idea is for ALL children to be able to play together. I was blown away the first time we went there.

    But behind every clever idea is a lot of effort and creativity. Designers spend countless hours brainstorming, testing, and refining their ideas to make sure they work perfectly.

    It’s not just about making things look good; it's about creating something that genuinely improves how we live.

    If these things are so great, why do I never see them in use? When I trained to be a phlebotomist, we were told about these. Then I worked in hospitals and clinics and none of them had one. I externed in a trauma center that had all the latest and greatest gadgets. But if we had a hard stick that seemed impossible, they just sent a different phlebotomist to try. I had a guy tap a vein in a patient's leg because her hands and arms were a no go. But no one was pulling out this gadget.

    I had three phlebotomists try me in the emergency dept only twice and I begged them to keep going. Eventually another man came with a sonogram to find my veins but not before he tried to put one in my neck on both sides Why did I have to go through all that torture with this around?!

    I wish my doctor had this. They spend eternity trying to find the "right vein" and then always go for the hand. I may be almost 70 but I can and will scream like a 3 year old if anything is said about sticking a needle in my HAND! Find a vein in my arm or I'm either going to throw a tantrum or go home. Or both.

    Seriously, the last time I had blood drawn they blew 4 veins in my arms/hands before finally milking enough blood out of a vein at the base of my thumb. By me literally kneeling on a chair and holding my arm below my body, one phlebotomist held the needle in place and a second one massaged my arm downward. I have horrible, thin veins, and I'm an ex-IV drüg user. One of these devices would save me so much pain snd embarrassment.

    My mum worked in a hospital for 25 years and they needed these machines in her day oncology ward. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the funding for them because they’re $25,000 for one machine. One machine. Sorry, let me rephrase that: they claimed they didn’t have the funding for it and it was a private hospital.

    Stretchers are a vital tool in emergency situations, but they do come with a few challenges. For one, they aren’t always the easiest to maneuver through tight spaces or rough terrain, which can slow down transport when time is critical.

    Enter Yu-Hsin Wu, a student at Taiwan’s Shih Chien University who designed the inflatable stretcher. One of its best features is how portable it is compared to traditional stretchers. Since it's inflatable, you can easily deflate it, fold it up, and take it in remote or hard-to-reach areas.

    It's quite common in many European cities built on hillsides. Vigo, Toledo and Barcelona in Spain have them, Albufeira in Portugal, Spoleto in Italy... It's a cheap and effective way to provide mass transfer with minimal impact.

At least from my home I could reach three tiny free shelves in five minutes, more in ten (by foot)
