The pre-packaged sensor they were using to non-invasively characterize bloodflow was providing noisy raw data and their signals analysis algorithm couldn&#8217;t support a conclusion whether their concept worked or failed. We performed a Design Review by quantifying the biological requirements with our customer and comparing against the sensor&#8217;s datasheet to identify performance limitations. We spent a couple of days researching alternative sensors and found an unpackaged sensor component with far better sensitivity and frequency performance. Because it was &#8220;unpackaged&#8221;, it needed additional circuitry and firmware drivers to be developed before it could start producing usable data.<\/p>\n<h4>Outcome of the Design Review<\/h4>\n<p>We recommended changing to the new sensor because of the performance gains. We provided the needed part numbers and a &#8220;blueprint&#8221; to integrate with their current data collection system. This was outside their wheelhouse, so we followed up with an additional phase of work to design and fabricate a prototype circuit board along with the firmware drivers to fully integrate it into their software so they could continue their work. Within a week of the first meeting, we&#8217;d designed a prototype PCB and sent for fabrication. Over the next five weeks, we developed the working firmware and delivered the functional prototype, including a real-time signals viewer to quickly assess sensor placement and support demonstrations. The new PCB and clean sensor data allowed them to quickly build an appropriate signals analysis algorithm, collect patient data, and prove the concept.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_5,3_5,1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;36px|auto||auto||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||4px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjU0NDYifX0=@&#8221; button_text=&#8221;check out our detailed Product Development Process Journey&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;button_url&#8221; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221; module_class=&#8221;approach_section&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#fdfdfd&#8221; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/www.root3labs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/root3bg_38.png&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_right&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px||60px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;125px||125px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;30px||30px||false|false&#8221; disabled=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;service-space&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||30px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>OUR PROCESS<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;3_5,2_5&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||50px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;service-space&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||5px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>STRATEGIC DISCOVERY<\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;government-list&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Given the significant costs of bringing a product to market, it can be overwhelming (and maybe even scary) deciding which ideas are worth the investment.

Time &amp; Materials budgets are provided for those projects with more uncertainty, technical challenges, or ambiguous deliverables. Our T&amp;M estimates reflect our current understanding of the effort but also leave room for the flexibility to modify the Scope of Work and Deliverables throughout the project.
