Delve Webinar: How Healthcare Can Develop Products Like the Consumer Goods Industry

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.Drawing on Delve's decades of experience developing both medical devices and consumer products, Delve's VP of Design, Mathieu Turpault, will lead a webinar hosted by Medical Alley on October 3, 2023.The free webinar will explore the reasons behind the consumerization of medtech and offer actionable steps to rethink your product development processes.
