The Challenge
The clinician knew the problem intimately and needed a partner to turn his idea into a physical product.
It had to work clinically and also be something a manufacturer could build at a sensible cost.
What we did
Worked alongside the clinician over several months to turn real-world clinical challenges into a product brief
Carried out industrial, mechanical and electronics design
Designed for manufacture from the start, so the prototype was commercialisation-ready rather than a one-off
Delivered a functional product prototype
The outcome
An early-stage concept became a functional prototype designed for usability and future production. mēkā and the client went on as joint owners of the intellectual property, so both are invested in the product's long-term success.
