Insights

In many areas of healthcare where AI has great potential, use of the technology is still in its infancy. In these realms where it’s slower to catch on, a common obstacle to adoption is lack of trust.

A few months ago, we discussed three UX trends reshaping medical product design. Here’s how to incorporate them into your device UX efforts.

Our engineers have designed a better tolerance analysis tool that makes doing tolerance stacks a joy. Download it here for free.

An innovation introduced today might be overhyped in the short term and underestimated in the long run. How will that inform your approach?

Without the right insights, a new technology is just a solution without a problem. Insights are the answer to tech for tech's sake.

We use Parametric CAD to design the majority of a wide range of new products. Here are some of the problems it helps us solve quickly and capably.

Inside every electronic device sold today – whether it’s a coffee maker, phone, automobile, or Mars Rover – is an embedded solution, or a combination of hardware and software that makes the thing run.

What do ancient farm tools have to do with contemporary gender inequality? According to the Plough Hypothesis, there’s a direct link.

As many as 95% of new products fail. To improve the odds in your favor, put users at the center of the design process and conduct user research early and often.

There are several methodologies available to speed up the development process. Which best fits your needs?

Diagnosing problems in failing products that have already been released for manufacturing can be a tricky business.

You’d be surprised how many startups come to us with excellent connected device concepts that have failed under routine, predictable environmental stresses.

Designers love to talk about the needs of the user. But what if the end user isn’t the person making the decision to buy your products?

Features that would be impossible to pull off using conventional manufacturing methods are made feasible with 3D printing.

When offshore manufacturing works well, it can be fast, cost-efficient, and deliver good quality. But often speed, price, or quality is sacrificed without the right vendor, relationship, and process.

A question we get often from new clients while drafting industrial design proposals is how many concepts they’ll be reviewing in the early phases of a project.

Using leading-edge parts comes with risks. You may have a great, even disruptive, product to debut, but realistically it needs to get to market before someone else beats you to it.

Several years ago, someone gifted me with Twine, an Internet-connected 2.5 square box that can be “programmed” in plain English, without needing to know how to code.

A couple of weeks ago I did a shop presentation to share techniques I’ve developed for making models come together in a more professional way.

The huge number of unsecured IoT devices currently connected to the internet make DDoS attacks it all too easy. There are measures you can take to make sure yours is better protected.

Medical device usability testing serves different — and equally important — purposes throughout the product design process, from generative through evaluative research.

Figuring out just how much sealing products will need is part of the design process.

In its infancy, CFD was complicated, expensive, and challenging—so it was only employed for complex projects like bridges and the space shuttle. Today, engineers use it to optimize everyday products that incorporate the flow of air, gas, and fluids.

Here are some of the harshest environments you might come across as a product designer or engineer and the ruggedized solutions and products that stand up to them.

Product design and manufacturing are always more challenging when the wet stuff is involved.

Wireless updates are good for manufacturers and users who are worried about security concerns. But for product designers, they require extra planning.

We started with a hypothesis for what the agency of the future looks like. Here are our top ten observations that keep proving to be true.

Medical device companies can boost usability by adopting these consumer product development practices.

At Delve, we believe that mobile, voice, and “interfaceless” applications should consider accessibility before the first line of code is written or the first wireframe is constructed.

While a final product may appear to stand on its own, it’s actually buoyed by tiers of development. These include rounds of prototyping and testing.
