The Lobob stethoscope was designed to take away children’s fear of a medical examination. In order to make it look less like a medical device, this stethoscope only has a chestpiece that records sounds in the chest using a newly developed technology. Parents can access the results via an app or send them directly to a physician. The form, which has been inspired by a pebble, is designed to provide a pleasant look and feel for both parents and children.
Statement by the Jury
This stethoscope breaks new ground with regard to technology and design. Its plain character strongly helps to increase acceptance by children.
