Project scope

Engineering Research & Development and testing

My role

Product Design Engineer - As part of a 3 person engineering team, I conceptualized, developed, and tested an all-in-one blood glucose testing device. Together, the team ideated new mechanisms for lancing and blood collection using existing consumables, tested and proved the technology with bench top models, and migrated learnings into the development of a handheld device. IP was developed.
