The Bloom system allows blood markers to be measured in mere minutes, either from home or at a testing location. It consists of test strips which, depending on the purpose, can detect certain substances in the blood, as well as an electronic reader into which the test strip is inserted and an app for evaluation of the test results. All elements combine to create a coherent, intelligent system. The visually defining design feature is the elegant LED ring on the reader, which lights up during interaction.
Statement by the Jury
The Bloom system is appealing because of its simplicity. It combines a minimalist design idiom with intuitive handling, thus making self-testing easy even for non-professional users.
