The Scientific and Technological Park of the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló (Espaitec), through the UJI.>LAB project, is developing the Kimibox initiative with the aim of manufacturing small boxes to hold medication for chemotherapy processes, decorated with different elements, designed by the Industrial Design students of the UJI with the support of health professionals.

The Kimibox project arises from the need to give encouragement and strength to children and adolescents throughout the cancer treatment process, and also to their families and their closest environment during the process of the disease, providing them with extra help and motivation from an emotional perspective. In these situations, not only is medical-health care sufficient from the point of view of cancer treatment, but psychological and social support actions are also necessary for patients and their families in order to offer them strength, support and help during the course of the disease.

The main objective of the Kimibox initiative is to design and 3D print, with the help of Espaitec's rapid prototyping laboratory, FabLab, a set of boxes that will hold doses of chemotherapy, so that the treatment bags are hidden behind them and, through their designs, the medication process is humanised. The chemotherapy boxes will be decorated with different elements such as stickers, blackboards and cartoon figures, among others, and will be offered to the paediatric oncology departments of the hospitals in the province of Castellón.

It should be noted that the Kimibox project is based on the original "Chemobox" project born in Brazil in 2013 and exported to Spain in 2018 where, through social networks, a call was made to makers for the selfless manufacture of boxes to store chemotherapy doses using 3D printers for children undergoing cancer treatment.
