HIYALABS

StepDose.

The platform, extended.

The next expression of the HIYA platform: a reusable oral spray device in development, designed around a deliberate hand-to-mouth interaction.

A closer look

The interaction matters.

For StepDose, the hand-to-mouth ritual is part of the design: the way the device is held, brought to the mouth and actuated. Satisfaction is the design goal.

A physical and digital direction

StepDose extends the device work into a reusable format. The demo app explores a digital view of device events and usage patterns.

Remove. Refit.

A removable mouthpiece, designed to turn, lift away and refit onto the device.

The mouthpiece turns, lifts away from the device, then returns and locks back into place.

Canister replacement.

A replaceable canister at the core of the reusable StepDose format.

The mouthpiece is removed, the canister lifts out of the stationary body, and a replacement is inserted before the mouthpiece is refitted.

Remaining sprays.

The LED indicator is designed to provide an at-a-glance view of estimated sprays remaining.

A close view shows the indicator illuminating along the front of the device and settling at a lower level.

USB-C.

StepDose recharges through a USB-C connection integrated into the base of the device.

The device rotates to reveal the USB-C connection recessed into its base.

Spray actuation.

A dedicated button brings spray actuation into the hand-to-mouth interaction.

A close view of the actuator shows a single brief spray, followed by the device at rest.
