Effectively Selecting Ideation Methods for Medical Product Development
Ideation sessions can provide an effective platform for creating novel and innovative ideas. With so much material and so many ideation methods available, however, one of the biggest challenges is selecting the most appropriate ideation method. How do you go about selecting a method to ensure you are addressing a problem in the most effective way?
Sustainability in Medical Device Design – Turn Challenge into Opportunity
True sustainability isn’t about compromise; it is about creating innovative solutions that are not only good for the world, but good for business.
Conducting User Research in the OR—What You Should Know
Medical device manufacturers are increasingly aware of the need to conduct in-depth user research in the field as part of the product requirements process. Little information exists on what to expect when conducting user research in the OR. Although every hospital is different, here is some practical advice from our recent experience.

Two Discussions on Electromagnetic Materials and Sealing Medical Gases
Q: What are the best materials for electromagnetic applications? A: This depends on the application, and on factors such as the performance, cost and specific geometry. Electromagnetic materials are commonly compared using B-H curves (B stands for induction and H for magnetizing force), which are basically a plot of how much magnetic flux a material will carry versus the intensity of the magnetic field. This can be experimentally seen by using an electromagnet and observing how strong…
