Insulin Pump
Pump therapy is a growing treatment for people with diabetes, injecting small amounts of insulin throughout the
day through a small device rather than taking injections by syringes. The pumps themselves are focused on
being small and easy to conceal. Not interfering with life is an important consideration for medical devices but
concealment does not necessarily solve this issue. Shown in the context of cycling, the exposure and integrated form
of Reveal into a pair of shorts critiques the traditional approach of concealment. Conversation is created by the
piece, acting as a step towards changing the perception of how people can manage their health.
