Takeaway

Iterate to succeed

Five rounds of full scale prototypes allow for continuous feedback from testers and healthcare professionals, which is essential for improving the device's usability and effectiveness. Each iteration refines the device based on real-world interactions and ergonomics, leading to enhancements in comfort, safety, and functionality. This process helps ensure that the final product not only meets the specific needs of patients but also integrates seamlessly into therapeutic environments, ultimately contributing to better rehabilitation outcomes.
