About
Not all diabetic patients have access to the essential cold conditions required for their medication. Diacare is a storage and cooling device that keeps its internal temperature at the optimum level to preserve insulin drugs. It works by cooling the insulated internal volume with a passive heat exchange system which converts electricity directly into temperature difference. The process can be extended with support from a backup battery thus reducing dependence on electricity.

Middle East Technical University
Hi! I'm a recent graduate industrial designer from Middle East Technical University. Coming from Turkey. During my undergraduate education I have started working as a product designer in an agricultural technology company that tries to reduce the negative impact of agriculture on the environment by reducing fertilizer. I like to be part of a team that aims to make a good impact on earth and apply responsible production methods right at the beginning of the product development stage. I prioritize the impact of the design will bring into the world!
