  • Mindfulness pendant on a cord with exploded views of its custom PCB, battery and vibration motor
    Simple, elegant, pendant to be worn as a necklace with sensors connected to app to help promote mindfulness with through vibration.
  • Man wearing the Calibre breath biometrics mask beside an exploded view of its electronics and battery housing
    Ultralight and compact, Calibre™ is optimally designed for real-life comfort and usability to accurately track your metrics regardless of the activity or exercise.
  • Swimmer clipping a TritonWear tracker to the back of a swim cap at the pool
    TritonWear swim coach wanted a tracking device to be worn on swimmers to gain valuable insight about their training. This required a device that was small, waterproof, and comfortable to wear, all while communicating live performance data
  • SafeXtract mining helmet headband with adjustment dial on anthropometric head models, annotated
    SafeXtract wanted to improve the safety of miners by monitoring their health and location using a connected mining helmet. Part of this design featured a dynamic sizing mechanism, that ensured a proper and comfortable fit while being simple to operate.

View the case study
  • Pedz child security bracelet from Stanley Healthcare worn on a wrist, with its RFID electronics exposed
    Stanley Healthcare came to Design 1st for help with a new product concept. The requirement was to design a bracelet for tamperproof security, quick removal, and easy reattachment. Stanley required full product development support from concept design through to manufacturing.
  • Arc Medical wearable vitals prototype with inflatable blood pressure membrane and O2 finger cuff, annotated
    Arc Medical Devices worked with Design 1st to build a fully-functional prototype to show Arc’s core wearable biometric sensing technology for the CES (Consumer Electronics Tradeshow)
  • Neurovine EEG headband with cutaway showing flex PCB and conductive fabric contacts
    Neurovine uses portable EEG technology to read brain activity and send real-time reporting to concussion patients’ mobile devices, allowing doctors to track improvement, identify triggers, and prescribe treatment. Ergonomics were critical to the success of this product, as any discomfort could irritate an already sensitive patient.
