Collective Genius for a Better World !

NASA, USAID, Department of State, and NIKE joined together to form LAUNCH in an effort to identify, showcase and support innovative approaches to global challenges through a series of forums and an accelerator process. LAUNCH’s mission is to maximize human potential by transforming our existing human systems into new ones that are more sustainable, accessible, and empowering.

THE PROBLEM The transportation of needles, syringes, and vaccine around the world presents a serious logistics problem. Vaccines deteriorate over time and must be stored in temperature-controlled locations. Used needles also present a dangerous problem as needle sticks and improperly disposed of waste can easily transmit disease. THE VISION By easing the transportation and delivery of vaccines around the world, the Bioneedle group believes that large populations will easily become vaccinated. THE SOLUTION Biodegradable, hollow, implantable needles are filled with vaccine and dissolve in the body within minutes – delivering necessary inoculation and requiring no cleanup or disposal of needles.
