OneWeb Internet Terminal for the Developing World
Though we take the internet for granted, there are large portions of the world that don’t have access to the internet. Greg Wyler’s vision is to remedy this with a network of low altitude satellites that transmit connectivity to the far corners of the globe. We engaged with One Web to help realize their vision with some industrial design work and an aesthetic, articulating prototype for Wyler to use to demonstrate the idea.
Thrombectomy Blood Flow Reducing Device
One of the larger concerns during a thromectomy case is blood loss, as you are essentially just pulling blood right out of the body. Our client pitched us on a concept they thought could work to reduce the amount of blood being removed from the body and we constructed a scientific breadboard to understand all the parameters around the surgery and invent a device to mitigate blood loss.
Continuous Glucose Monitor
For Type I Diabetics, the process of monitoring your glucose levels can be tedious but absolutely essential. Through our work on this CGM applicator, we made the a fully automated way to deploy the ultra-fine sensor wire underneath the skin with no pain.
Rechargeable Battery for Energy Insecure Communities
In the areas of the world where underdeveloped electrical infrastructure means that people don't have consistent access to electricity, our clients provide a solution in the form of a solar powered electric battery. As they have improved their hardware and features, they needed help redesigning the form, accelerate the engineering of the enclosure and prepare their next generation product for manufacturing.
Connected Faucet & App Development
In the height of the drought in California, Design Concepts was working on an internal effort to create a connected faucet project. The hardware and mobile application allowed you to track and control the water flow to help enable people to reduce their water usage.
