The portable Menopod for women in menopause is placed onto the back of the neck at the onset of a hot flush. Upon activating the device by pressing the power button, a low acoustic signal and a vibration indicate that the unit is active. Within just a few seconds, the copperplates reach a cooling level of 5 degrees centigrade. The batteries can be recharged either via a power cord or a USB cable.
Statement by the Jury
The elegant, purist appearance of the Menopod reflects the aesthetic zeitgeist and makes the device an attractive companion for daily life.
