<h2>1. A new, comprehensive medical device design process diagram</h2>
It isn’t uncommon for medical device companies who partner with us for strategy, design, or engineering services to be overwhelmed by the FDA’s process. Or, more specifically, with how the process is communicated in the FDA’s 5-stage waterfall diagram.
We decided to create a different, more comprehensive flowchart of the&nbsp;medical device development process and share it with you.

<h2>2. The role of human factors design</h2>
Human factors design and ergonomics basically mean the same thing—the study of the interactions between human beings and the tools, tasks, and environments of work and everyday living.
Here's primer on what, how and when the discipline of human factors is used in the design and development of products.

<h2>3. Developing an introvert's superpower</h2>
Do you know someone who can absorb a vast amount of complex information about a problem and combine it into a cohesive, elegant solution?&nbsp;An introvert is uniquely suited to develop this superpower; solving problems with multiple interrelated constraints.
Research shows an introvert's brain pathways favor the thinking mode where several solutions to individual problems are played out in their mind simultaneously.&nbsp;
If you’re an introvert, we propose following this process to harness your superpower and develop your potential for idea generation.

<h2>4. The expanding definition of design</h2>
There’s a growing sense of urgency and renewed purpose in the design community.
Climate change, social injustice, shifting patterns of work and wealth—the world is shifting, and designers are expanding their focus areas to tackle these complex and interconnected issues.
This year’s International Design Conference put that momentum in context. From case studies to calls for action, the slate of speakers all posed possible answers to the question: What new frontiers would benefit most from good design?
Thought leaders at IDC identified many emerging areas. Four stood out the most

Women in industrial design

<h2>5. Women in design: 8 ways your origin story can make you a better designer</h2>
Women make up just 20% of professional industrial designers in the United States, according to an industry survey by Core77.
When women are still the minority by a long shot, it can be difficult to openly admit to failures and disappointments. Instead, we usually hear about the success at the end of the story, rather than the journey and setbacks that got us there.&nbsp;That’s why the 2021 Women in Design Deep Dive was so reassuring.
Nearly every speaker shared how they made it to where they are today—their wins and, refreshingly, their stumbles and lessons learned along the way. Here's what we learned.

CES Web Digital Health

<h2>6. CES 2021: All virtual</h2>
We attended CES 2021, like all others, remotely. If there's one thing an all-digital CES showed in 2021 it's that this is one trade show that can't be replicated virtually. We missed the dynamic hum of the trade show floor.&nbsp;
But many of the panel discussions were a lot more interesting, and you'll see that reflected in our event coverage—a PDF report summarizing what we learned about the future of healthcare, sustainability, smart home tech, 5G, and transportation.&nbsp;

5 ways care models need to change

<h2>7. Five ways care models need to change</h2>
The pandemic sped up trends already on the ascent.&nbsp;We can make appointments whenever we feel like it because there are no “office hours” during which we have to call. We can take appointments from a location of our choosing without the inconvenience of traffic.
What does this sea change mean&nbsp;for pharmaceutical companies who do the yeoman’s work of supporting access, adherence, and affordability for specialty drugs?
A thoughtfully designed care model can support better outcomes in ways that better fit into people’s lives. But care models will need to change, first. Here's how.&nbsp;

Face shields social impact design web

<h2>8. How to design for positive, humanity-scale impact</h2>

Innovation theater design thinking

<h2>9. Five Qs that stop design thinking from being innovation theater</h2>
Too many times design thinking projects fall victim to the trappings of innovation theater.
The innovation and design thinking project becomes more about checking all the boxes than making transformative change.
Before you make the leap to a design thinking process, here are a few questions to think about to maximize your team’s likelihood of success.

As things heat up, new and incumbent companies are eager to capitalize on the trends. But which ones will win?
