Innovative Colour-Changing Indicators for Effective PPE Management in Healthcare
Insignia Technologies has developed time-temperature indicators to enhance the management and effective use of personal protective equipment (PPE). With the dramatic increase in PPE demand due to COVID-19, shortages of medical supplies like gloves, surgical masks, N95 respirators, face shields, gowns, and aprons have become common. Insignia's innovative solution involves an indicator that changes color over a pre-set time period, visually indicating when the PPE should be replaced. This project aims to develop new label constructions for various timings and perform essential verification work. Additionally, market size assessment and customer base expansion will be pursued. The implementation of this innovation will result in a monitoring system that helps manage PPE and aids staff in using it effectively.
