      Innovative product ideas ready for commercialization

      Innovation Skåne also supports the co-workers within Region Skåne to develop their ideas for new products. We verify the needs, investigate the market and in some cases, we develop prototypes and apply for patent. But we do not finalise, market or sell the products. Instead, we look for companies that want to take product ideas to the market.

      Here we list product ideas that are ready for final development. Please click on each heading for more information. Do you want to know more or bring a product to the market? Get in touch!

      Oral cooling device for thirst relief

      The need

      After intensive care, a patient's experience of severe thirst is one of the most difficult memories of this type of hospitalization. Today, various forms of chilled or frozen water, with possible additives such as menthol or lemon, are used to relieve thirst in these patients. Disadvantages of this approach include intake of water in patients who should normally be kept mildly dehydrated and exposure to likely pharmacologically active substances in a physiologically unstable state.

      Solution

      Based on the working hypothesis that "dry" cooling of areas in the oral cavity per se without the addition of water relieves thirst, and supported by published clinical studies, we have filed patents for a variety of devices based on this hypothesis. We have also, in collaboration with students at the Ingvar Kamprad Design Center in Lund, developed and design-registered two such specific prototypes based on usability and cognitive aspects.

      Status

      We are looking for a partner with the capacity to develop this type of medical device towards a marketable new product, preferably with previous experience of collaboration with university hospitals for conducting clinical studies.
