Kaleidoscope Innovation and Product Design
Products
Laparoscopic single-unit applicator for flowable hemostatic agent
Redesigned laparoscopic applicator using a trigger-plunger mechanism to enable one-handed operation, improved ergonomics and more precise delivery for minimally invasive procedures.
Gene therapy delivery device redesign and clinical training program
Multi-phase program including training curriculum, anatomical simulators and a commercial-ready device and injection procedure to improve usability and injection consistency for ophthalmic gene therapy delivery.
Virtual reality training platform
Immersive VR training environment composed of technical modules for step-by-step skills training, designed to improve retention and reduce training costs.
Ultra-low temperature research storage freezer redesign with predictive analytics
Product redesign focused on improved usability, temperature integrity, manufacturability and onboard predictive analytics for product health monitoring.
Interactive 3D medical room planning and visualization application
Real-time 3D planning tool enabling collaborative visualization of medical equipment placement and spatial planning to reduce procurement errors and improve confidence in equipment purchases.
Molded-fiber prototype trays and material evaluation
Small-batch molded-fiber (pulp) prototype production and preliminary evaluation of processing methods (dry-press vs wet-press), thickness/draft capabilities and environmental stability.
