A team from Ergonomidesign was present at the exhibition opening reception to get a glimpse of three different in-house projects in the key development theme “Health” and other interesting design projects. The selected projects from Ergonomidesign are the bike handles Ergon GR2, the asthma monitoring device NioxMino and Spot, a guide cane for blind people incorporating virtual intelligence.
