Question: Why do you design medical devices?

Hi – good question

First step is to completely understand the question or problem the doctor has.

Next come up with a couple of possible solutions.

Then, pick the best one in terms of performance, cost, simplicity.

Then build a prototype

Next test it on a small number of patients to ensure it’s safe and it works.

Then sell it and make millions! 🙂
