Assistive Tech: As Easy as 1, 2, 3!

Eliminate the sensory distress of traditional insect repellents and enable safe outdoor play with BuzzPatch Sensory-Friendly Mosquito Patches. Classified as low cost assistive technology, these natural citronella stickers are specifically designed for NDIS participants living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), or ADHD who experience "sensory defensiveness" towards sprays and lotions.
Applying insect repellent is often a source of dysregulation due to the cold tactile sensation of wet sprays, the overpowering chemical smell, or the sudden auditory "hiss" of aerosol cans. BuzzPatch bypasses these triggers entirely. By simply adhering a patch to clothing, the user gains effective protection through the release of essential oils, creating a barrier against biting insects without anything ever touching their skin. This promotes skin integrity by preventing bites and allows participants to engage in community activities like camping, hiking, or park visits without anxiety.
Sensory Regulation (Auditory & Tactile): Completely removes the need for aerosol sprays (loud noise) or topical lotions (sticky/cold sensation), preventing sensory overload during the "getting ready" routine.
Community Participation: Reduces the anxiety associated with going outdoors, enabling the participant to attend picnics, sports, or therapy sessions in nature environments.
Skin Integrity Protection: Prevents mosquito bites which can lead to severe itching, scratching, and secondary skin infections, particularly in participants who struggle with impulse control.
Safety & Chemical Sensitivity: Uses plant-based essential oils instead of DEET or harsh chemicals, making it a safe option for participants with chemical sensitivities or respiratory issues.
Non-Contact Application: Patches stick directly to clothing (sleeves, collars, shorts) rather than skin, avoiding tactile irritation and the need for scrubbing chemicals off later.
100% Natural & DEET-Free: Formulated with Citronella and essential oils, providing a non-toxic safety shield suitable for children and adults.
Long-Lasting Efficacy: Provides instant protection that remains effective for up to 72 hours, reducing the executive function burden of remembering to re-apply spray constantly.
Medical-Grade Adhesive: Features a strong, water-resistant adhesive that stays secure during active play but peels off easily without leaving residue on fabrics.
Engaging Visual Design: The colourful smiley face patterns act as a fun visual prompt, turning a safety task into an engaging activity rather than a chore.
