The story of “A Silly Patch” is one born out of a simple, yet profound, personal need. How to secure my medical device and make it look cool. Jason Forrester is a graphic designer and Type 1 Diabetic. He grew frustrated with the limitations of his device the ability for it to stay on his body and make it look unique. He wanted to live an active life.
Living in Florida, Jason loved swimming, being at the beach, and staying active. His continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and insulin pump infusion sites were not built for that lifestyle. They constantly fell off. His initial attempts to secure them using generic bandages were functional. Yet, they were “ugly.” This made him feel conspicuous and constrained by his medical devices.
This daily struggle sparked an idea: why couldn’t a my device be both secure and stylish?
Driven by this vision, Jason used his professional skills to create a solution that blended purpose with flair. The development process involved:
- Material Science: He researched various options. He ultimately selected a specific 3M 1529 hypoallergenic, water-resistant medical tape. This tape is known for being safe on the skin. 3M 1529 is also durable enough to withstand vigorous activity for days at a time.
- Creative Design: He created unique “sketch designs.” He moved beyond plain medical tape. He offered a range of fun, artistic patterns for adults and children alike. This restored a sense of personal style.
- Real-World Testing: Jason became the primary user. He ensured the patches were reliable for everyday active life. This ranged from running and exercise to a casual swim.
