The Good Design Awards are Australia’s most prestigious awards for design and innovation and a jury of more than 35 Australian and international design experts have awarded only the best entries with the 2017 Good Design® Selection.
On receiving the Good Design® Selection for TruScreen², the Jury commented: “This is a very impressive project that has been well executed. The TruScreen² provides patients with immediate and accurate results and offers a completely new approach to cervical screening.”
The Jury set the bar very high this year with only the very best submissions receiving this level of recognition.
CEO of TruScreen, Martin Dillion, said: “We are delighted with this recognition of the effort that has gone into the development of our second generation product, TruScreen² screening device. This includes extensive in-market testing and research and feedback from physicians and patients has been very positive.”
About the Awards
Australia’s Good Design Awards date back to the 1950’s and have an enviable record of unearthing globally recognised talent and products.
“The Australian Good Design Awards attracted innovative entries from all corners of the world and the standard of submissions this year has really been incredible,” said Dr Brandon Gien, CEO of Good Design Australia and Chair of the Good Design Awards program.
“This is one of the few design award programs in the world where design and innovation are celebrated so broadly. This year’s Good Design® Selections represent excellence in design across the widest spectrum of design including Product Design, Service Design, Architectural Design, Design Strategy, Digital and Communication Design and Social Innovation,” Dr. Gien commented.
“Good design is about making our lives better, safer and happier. It extends to everything around us – from the products we use in our daily lives and the services we interact with to the buildings we live and work in – they can all be improved through better design. That’s what lies at the heart of these Awards”.
