The Ember Cube is a self-refrigerated, cloud-based shipping box designed to maintain precise temperature control for pharmaceuticals and specimens during transport.
LOS ANGELES, May 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ember LifeSciences, Inc. today announced that its innovative cloud-based shipping box, the Ember Cube, has been recognized as the winner of the Health Products category of Fast Company's 2024 World Changing Ideas Awards.
The Ember Cube is a self-refrigerated, reusable shipping box designed to safely transport and protect temperature-sensitive medicines and vaccines. Its technology allows senders and recipients to track the location of the shipment and the temperature of its contents to ensure the medicine has not been lost, compromised, or spoiled due to extreme temperature exposure. With its self-labeling e-ink screen and easy return-to-sender feature that allows it to be reused hundreds of times over, the Ember Cube replaces the healthcare sector's dependence on single-use traditional shipping materials to collectively reduce millions of pounds of waste annually.
The Ember Cube represents a beacon of innovation and progress in cold chain shipping. It addresses crucial healthcare issues by ensuring medications work as intended, reducing spoilage, and fighting against waste. The Ember Cube is set to redefine industry standards, ensuring the safe and timely delivery of critical supplies to those in need.
This year's World Changing Ideas Awards unveils some of the world's most creative minds and pioneering organizations that are seeking to disrupt the status quo across popular categories like health, education, energy, and AI.
