Insight: It’s important to research deeply and broadly. We researched competitor devices but also took inspiration from a wide range of consumer wearables.
Insight: The original brief was to use disposable separate electrodes. However, in addition to separate electrode concepts, I also created an integrated electrode solution and explained it’s advantages. This is the design direction that was chosen.
Challenge: Provide a better and aesthetically pleasing wrist rehabilitation device.
Solution: An innovative integrated electrode solution with removable main unit for improved hygiene and ease of maintenance delivered a competitive advantage. This fundamental configuration has been used on all subsequent iterations.
