The medical device industry is in a new era—the consumerization era.Historically, we focused on meeting rigorous requirements of safety and efficacy. Today, we must meet a new set of standards. Safety and efficacy, of course. But also, intuitiveness and sophistication. This has big implications not just for the devices you design but also for how you do business.This webinar, presented by Delve, was hosted in October of 2023 and explored the reasons behind the shift. Host Mathieu Turpault, Delve's VP of Design, offered attendees actionable steps to rethink your product development processes, based on Delve’s decades of experience developing medical devices and consumer products.
