STICK’EM
2020
STICK’EM is a child oriented app and product system, intended to relieve the fear of receiving hypodermic injections.
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
How may we reduce the innate fear of needles primarily in children through a designed system?
“an extreme fear of medical procedures involving injections or hypodermic needles.” -
(Cirino, 2018, Para.1)
WHAT IS TRYPANOPHOBIA?
“63% of children (aged 6–17) reported a fear of needles” -
(Taddio et al., 2012)
Design a distraction and positive reinforcement system through the use of customizable bandages that can be an instant sense of gratification for children receiving a hypodermic needle injection.

The STICK’EM app allows patients to color and customize their own bandage during the waiting and administration processes. By doing so, it distracts the patient with an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
