Dyson Award winners: Glaucoma glove and bottle scanner
The glaucoma glove, which won the international award, was inspired by the diagnosis of inventor Kelu You, and her father, with the condition. Mr De Vos works for an organisation aiming to reduce plastic waste and witnessed first hand the issues when plastic is incorrectly sorted. Some 40% of plastic waste was sent to landfill, 25% incinerated, 19% dumped and only 16% recycled, Mr De Vos said. Sir James described it as a "Potentially significant technology". The third prize went to Joseph Bentley, 22, from Loughborough University, whose rapid emergency actuating tamponade device - designed to prevent blood loss from stab wounds by inflating a silicone balloon into them - had already won the UK's James Dyson Award, in August.
