Experienced med-tech design engineers share the contents of their
metaphorical toolboxes in this European Medical Device Manufacturer
essay. As essential to the design process as advanced software, their
creative concepts appear basic on the surface, but are often overlooked. Plan
the product design process from initial idea through device launch, focus
front-end research on user needs by getting to really understand the user, aim
for simplicity, add electronics and add features, keep the product design
cost-effective, and let human
factors engineering drive risk-managed product development. Can these
philosophical precepts play a role in your device design efforts?
