vSculpt - Pelvic Floor Toning
World's First Pelvic Floor Rejuvenation Device Using Infrared Light
An Inside Glimpse Into the Product Development of Joylux's vSculpt
Product Design Requirements
After spending two years developing the vSculpt, Joylux was nowhere close to manufacturing and launching the product. Joylux turned to Design 1st for help, asking for an aggressive 16-week timeline to get functional prototyping working.
- Redesign the product structure and internal components for lower-cost and easier manufacturing
- Deliver a fully-functional prototype for user testing
- Add bluetooth connectivity to interact with App
- Design packaging and help set up volume manufacturing and support regulatory approvals
Design and Engineering Challenges
Implementing Design 1st’s proven process, the team was able to overcome several obstacles to achieve medical regulatory approval and strict quality controls.
- Quickly identified engineering risks and opportunities to facilitate low-cost trial units in short timeframe
- How to integrate the LEDs, heat and vibration technology into the ergonomic constraints of the industrial design targets
- Build low-cost demo models to test first in the lab and then with users making sure 90% of the designed could be carried over for volume manufacturing
- Use silicone overmodling to seal electronics and allow light transfer without energy loss
- Waterproof testing and updating design based on user feedback that met medical device regulations
