Dexcom, Inc, a leader in diabetes care management, collaborated with Speck Design to revolutionize their Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems. This project focused on developing a user-friendly and intuitive CGM technology, enhancing diabetes care for patients and healthcare professionals.
In the realm of industrial design, our challenge was to create a product that resonated with Dexcom's diverse user base, from the elderly to the youth and occasional users. We focused on intuitive design elements that would make the device accessible and easy to use in various settings. Our approach considered the aesthetics, ergonomics, and interaction design of the device, ensuring it was not only functional but also visually appealing and comfortable for all users.
Our electrical engineering efforts were centered on developing robust and precise components for the Dexcom G6 Sensor. We integrated state-of-the-art sensors and circuitry that ensured accurate glucose monitoring. Our team worked meticulously to design electrical systems that were not only reliable but also efficient, contributing to the overall effectiveness and user trust in the CGM system.
The mechanical engineering aspect of the project focused on the durability and reliability of the CGM device. We designed mechanical components that could withstand regular use and provide consistent performance. Our approach involved rigorous testing and refinement of the mechanical design to ensure the device was robust and could be used in various environments without compromising its functionality.
Digital design played a crucial role in making the CGM system user-friendly and accessible. Our team developed a digital interface that was intuitive and easy to navigate for users of all ages. We focused on creating a seamless connection between the device and its digital components, such as the mobile app, ensuring users could easily monitor and manage their diabetes care.
Our user research was extensive, involving observations and interactions with a wide range of users. We gathered insights into how different demographics interacted with the CGM system and what their specific needs were. This research was vital in informing our design and development process, ensuring that the final product met the needs and expectations of all users.
Brand development was key in positioning the Dexcom G6 Sensor in the market. We worked on strengthening Dexcom's brand identity by aligning the product design with the company's core values and messaging. Our team developed branding strategies that highlighted the innovative and life-enhancing aspects of the CGM system, making it stand out in the healthcare market.
