Welcome to our annual Industrial Design and Human Factors issue. Our ID/HF team has created blogs, an e-Guide, and video covering prototyping, research and testing. Their insights and tips are valuable to anyone commercializing a medical device regardless of their specific expertise.
Speaking of value, I'm pleased to offer a video version of my Playbook talks on Optimizing Founder Value during start-up exits. We focus on optimizing success for devices and clients. This issue delivers on both counts.
As always, thanks for reading.
Sincerely,
Scott Phillips |
