Celebrating more than a decade of Innovation by Design, the 2023 honorees include nearly 500 projects, products, and services from Adobe, PepsiCo, Canva, and others.
Paris, France, August 23, 2023 – BBalance was honored in Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Awards for 2023 in the wellness category. BBalance is the world’s first smart bath mat that seamlessly integrates into daily routines and measures weight, body composition, posture, and balance to guide users through personalized balance, musculoskeletal (MSK), breathing, and centering exercises.
The Innovation by Design Awards, which can be found in the September 2023 issue of Fast Company, honor the designers and businesses solving the most crucial problems of today and anticipating the pressing issues of tomorrow. The competition, now in its 12th year, features a range of blue-chip companies, emerging startups, and hungry young talents. It is one of the most sought-after design awards in the industry.
“BBalance is honored to be recognized for this award. It’s a testament to the work we’re doing to create a scale that combines both sleek design and preventative health technology that helps users monitor their well-being from home. We look forward to continuing our mission to create simple ways for customers to better understand and improve their health.”
“So much innovation news these days is focused on AI,” said Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “This year’s Innovation by Design honorees are a reminder that it’s human ingenuity that drives invention.”
The judges include renowned designers from a variety of disciplines, business leaders from some of the most innovative companies in the world, and Fast Company’s own writers and editors. Entries are judged on the key ingredients of innovation: functionality, originality, beauty, sustainability, user insight, cultural impact, and business impact.
