Currently, millions of people from all
across the world are suffering from dry eye. It’s a health condition
that can cause irritation, discomfort, and blurred vision. For providing
complete relief, a new wave of innovative treatments is emerging.
Wearable medical devices
are at the forefront of these treatments. Please check out this blog
and follow the journey of a company that has transformed its dry eye
treatment prototype into a market-ready, FDA-approved wearable medical
device:
Taking an Eye Treatment Prototype to Market
As a leading name in eye technology, this
company has a promising prototype for a dry eye treatment device. Their
vision is to develop a wearable solution that applies heat to the
eyelids and stimulates the production of natural tear lubricants.
However, a hurdle remained: transforming the prototype into a wearable medical device adhering to rigorous safety and regulatory standards.
Lack of Expertise in Medical Device Design
Without in-house expertise, the company could not navigate the complexities of medical device design and FDA approval. They needed
an engineering partner with a thorough understanding of electronic
device design and the stringent regulations governing medical devices.
