Exploratory Research

Conducting design research at the start of a project is critical to understanding your users’ needs, especially those that are unmet or unarticulated. Where market research takes the macro view - understanding what features a product should have - design research takes an in-depth view to uncover how those features should be implemented. For medical devices, design research is required to document user profiles, use environments, and critical tasks.

​

Result: A comprehensive set of user requirements that drive design and reduce time to market - the return on investment can be hundredfold!
