IDology #7 - Tips on outsourcing R&D and product design work

IDology · 31 Jan 2023 · 27m · Episode 7

What this episode covers

Rafał Piłat and Anita Rogoża of Mindsailors discuss the strategic value of outsourcing Research and Development (R&D) to external design studios. They detail specific projects, including a medical catheter requiring manufacturing feasibility analysis and a mobile heart sensor where they redesigned a painful mounting mechanism for elderly patients. The conversation also covers bypassing existing patents for shower drainage systems and highlights failed R&D attempts, such as non-compliant plastic scaffolding planks, to illustrate the importance of clear briefs and regulatory awareness.

    176 - The Fastest Way to Ruin Drug/Device Development (And How to Avoid It!) with Eric Sugalski

    Eric Sugalski, founder and CTO of Archimedic, explains that the fastest way to ruin drug-device development is premature concept lock and misaligned outsourcing strategies. He argues that companies must distinguish between needing overflow capacity versus specialized expertise, such as human factors or industrial design, to avoid the 'piecemeal approach' that destroys innovation. Sugalski emphasizes the importance of early, hands-on user research and open-source quality management systems to bridge the gap between engineering and clinical reality, warning that locking down requirements before validating use cases injects costly redo loops into the project.

    #461: Why Manufacturing is Part of Product Development with Mike Dolphin

    Mike Dolphin, CEO of GuideStar Medical Devices, explains why manufacturing process development must be integrated into product design rather than treated as a post-development step. He details the engineering of a closed-loop epidural safety device, emphasizing early decisions on injection molding and radiation sterilization to ensure scalability. Dolphin highlights the financial and timeline risks of using contract manufacturers for iterative development, advocating for in-house manufacturing to reduce costs and accelerate FDA 510(k) clearance.

    S1E49 The Critical Formula for Developing New Products | Jeff Christian

    Jeff Christian, founder of Phoenix DeVentures, explains his 'build-test-build-test' methodology for developing new products, emphasizing the importance of rapid prototyping and tactile learning over pure theoretical design. He discusses the challenges of integrating R&D and manufacturing under one roof, noting that while it accelerates development, it requires careful management to prevent R&D engineers from disrupting validated manufacturing processes. Christian also highlights the critical need for realistic testing phantoms in medical device development, such as simulating blood flow and vessel tortuosity for catheters, and shares his strategy for building multi-talented engineering teams through specific brainstorming techniques.

    053: Manufacturing, Quality & 3D Printing

    Filip Valica of Mako Design + Invent, interviewed by Khierstyn Ross of Crowdfunding Uncut, explains that crowdfunding campaigns often fail due to poor manufacturing planning rather than lack of funding. They discuss the importance of iterative prototyping, using 3D printing to decouple complex features, and the critical need to validate product-market fit before committing to tooling. The conversation covers strategies for sourcing overseas manufacturers, vetting them through trade fairs and third-party QA, and protecting intellectual property with NNN agreements to prevent design theft.

    Ep 2: The Untold Story - 8 Years. 3 Failed Studios. 1 Real Product

    Vivek Madappa, Founder of Mobident, details an 8-year journey to create a portable dental clinic system, moving from three failed studios to a final product developed with Analogy Design Studio. The system decouples into two modules—a lightweight instrument unit and a compressor base—to achieve a total weight under 15 kilograms, enabling true portability for home visits. Madappa emphasizes the non-negotiable requirement for world-class aesthetics and engineering, partnering with German firm Festo for high-precision pneumatic components and Italian design for user trust. The episode highlights the shift from a heavy 24kg prototype to a manufacturable, scalable solution that addresses the lack of dental access for 95% of India's population.
