The Drinksaver is a discreet aid for individuals with motor impairments that manifest as tremors and/or swallowing difficulties. When inserted into the drinking glass, the practically invisible lid reliably prevents spillage. The product was designed to encourage a natural swallowing posture and ensure that the user will not come into contact with the lid while drinking. By enabling users to avoid bending their neck while drinking, the Drinksaver minimises the risk of choking.
Statement by the Jury
The sophisticated design of the Drinksaver addresses the needs of people with motor impairments in a non-stigmatising manner.
