At what stage of product development are you in?
Concept / Initial Research
Selecting the right adhesives for a new medical wearable device starts with a clear understanding and definition of the end user’s needs and an exploration of the technical and material possibilities.
The initial development stage is a critical period for creative brainstorming and feasibility studies to ensure that the concept is viable both from a technical and a market perspective. This early stage involves gathering and analyzing data to define the problem the wearable device aims to solve, understanding the needs of the target user, and exploring the technical and material possibilities, including the selection of suitable adhesives.
It is essential to gain sufficient knowledge about the different types of adhesive materials and substrates that exist, and understand their characteristics and functionalities. At this stage, our adhesive experts can assist device developers in making the development process more efficient and offer guidance by asking crucial questions that may not have been considered before.
Typical considerations at this stage of product development cover the intended wear time and body placement of the device, as well as information regarding the end-user.
