Design review needed for insulin pump
A well-known pharmaceutical company had recently acquired the intellectual property for a wearable insulin pump but, due to a variety of factors, the device was not ready to market, even after years of development. They asked Springboard to conduct an independent design review to ascertain where the device was falling short of critical requirements for launch.
