Kablooe’s Day 1 Session:
Join Brian Mullins, Director of Design and Development at Kablooe, as he helps you balance these factors to optimize your device’s innovativeness along with its ability to help as many people as possible. Brian will teach you how to face the inherent design tension of creating a great device with novel and life-saving features and building a device that thrifty purchasers and healthcare regulatory authorities will accept into the fold of cleared devices.
There are countless factors at play, and one factor in your control is design. A strong regulatory strategy begins with a well-informed device design. Due to many cost-cutting measures in healthcare today, it is important to always be cognizant of device cost while at the same time honoring innovative device designs that could potentially save more lives.

Nearly 70% of Americans are on prescription medication, and much of this is administered within the home. And although the home is often the preferred place for people to heal, forgetting to take these medications at the right time or taking the wrong dose can cause adverse effects. Through a rigorous research and design process, many usability issues and errors can be avoided when interacting with a product.
Topic: New Innovation in Medication Dispensing: Right Medication, Right Time, Right Patient, Right Design
