The inspiration for creating DHF Ready Ideation was to develop a toolset intended to support the creative work done prior to implementing design controls, while at the same time, capturing it, thus streamlining this transition. The results have not just met, but surpassed that original intention. DHF Ready Ideation provides a platform to increase business success, user satisfaction, and minimize potential harms by encouraging innovators and designers to consider a holistic view of medical device product development and encourage an evolutionary iterative process along the entire journey.
