BlueTouch has been developed to ease back pain using blue LED light. The LED diodes are integrated into a flexible back strap, which can be comfortably worn underneath regular clothing. The blue light stimulates the production of nitric oxide in the skin, which activates natural pain relief processes in the body. Sensors in the device detect the wearer’s skin type to adjust and optimise the treatment.
Statement by the Jury
BlueTouch impresses with its geometric honeycomb look, which promotes air circulation and perfectly aligns with the LED lights.
