Overcoming Fear of Needles

I don’t think this exists, but came across Pinsoft, a speculative design from university students in Spain as a possible solution for people that have a fear of needles.

According to the creators, Pinsoft works because:

[It] stimulates the area near the puncture. It works thanks to rounded-tip spikes, which contract thanks to springs, adapting to the patient's surface. As the needle is inserted, they put pressure on the proximal area and there is a feeling of relief from the prick.

In other words, the prongs distract you from the actual needle.
