The ballpoint pen eliminated the need for messy fountain pens and all the problems that came with them. This breakthrough invention forever changed the way we write.

The Pareto Principle is a great tool for project teams when they’re trying to decide where to focus their energy and efforts.

Convincing discerning consumers to buy a home robot isn't easy. To earn a spot in our homes and our lives, “home bots” (and those designing them) must answer four important questions.

The acceleration of tech, and especially the mobile revolution, has deeply impacted both the consumer and medical device industries.

Design efforts to maximize battery run time typically focus on minimizing standby power, but an equal emphasis should be placed on designing for peak power.

Users often go rogue, using products in ways they weren’t designed to be used. Design for misuse is a way to counteract this.

In order to meet the needs of future users, companies must anticipate disruptive technologies and develop a path to innovation.

These four steps for repeatable technical innovation have proven trustworthy for us on project after project.

Creating product requirements can seem like a straightforward task, but it has plenty of potential pitfalls.

Delve helps clients develop innovative organizations, teams, and leaders. How can you tell if your business needs Innovation Enablement?

These early attempts at wearable technology were innovative but flawed—and paved the way for the more advanced devices we have today.

As product engineers, we use FEA simulations to develop, test, and refine designs. These best practices allow us to move quickly while keeping simulation results accurate, honest, and affordable.

Interaction designers have spent decades figuring out the best way to build an interface from scratch. A lot of what we know translates well to smart products.

Given the maze of use cases and associated certifications, designing an IoT medical device may take longer and cost more than you expect. Take the shortest path to a completed project by considering four factors.

More often than not, designing your cool new product relies on some new widget. You’re not sure if you should design your own or buy one from a supplier. What if there was a straightforward way to decide?

Often, users don’t know why they made a mistake. Human Factors researches use the art of Root Cause Probing to uncover what went wrong.

You’ve vetted your MVP design through low and medium-fidelity prototypes. Now use high-fidelity prototypes to amplify your MVP into a truly compelling offering.

Successfully troubleshooting these problems prior to product launch is in everybody’s best interest, and can be the most rewarding part of a project for an engineer.

Affordance is the relationship between what something looks like and how it’s used. The user should be able to figure out how to use something just by looking at it.

Want to deliver a better patient experience? Start by mapping the patient journey. Here's how to do it.

I just spent six months researching experiential brand language for a client. Here's what it is, how to create it, and examples of great EBLs from Apple, Airbnb, REI, and, as the title promises, Taylor Swift.

Together, we can design a better world. Let’s start by leveraging our unique skillsets as change agents.

How can you help your team think differently?

To achieve societal trust and move responsibly into an AI-enabled healthcare future, we need to put four elements in place.

We offer three UX “starter packs” to meet clients where they are. In addition to making product design more accessible, each approach puts user experience (UX) at the heart of the process.

What if you could plot your impact potential in real-time over the course of your project, allowing you to make necessary changes when it matters most?

It’s important to prototype and test soft materials at various stages in the product development process.

Fresh from our webinar, AI & Medical Device Development, we'd like to share a few takeaways from the discussion.

Touchscreens are now tactile. This may have big implications for medical devices and vehicle infotainment systems, where safety and error-reduction are paramount.

To develop the best version of your product, have you considered leveraging softer materials?
