Nanna and Kirstine are recent graduates with Master’s degrees in Architecture, Design, Conservation from the Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen. They work on integrating optimized design with home care, MedTech, and assistive devices.

The jury says
Flow is an integrated homecare and med-tech system for lung patients that take a holistic design approach by blending form, technology, and material choice. Nanna and Kristine’s work with Flow demonstrates design’s ability to meet actual human needs. The device looks like a regular water bottle, but in reality, it’s a lightweight device that allows patients to live a more active and social life with less focus on their disease. Ultimately, it prevents patients from feeling stigmatized in their everyday lives, thereby improving quality of life.
