As CEO and lead technologist at FPrin, I work with medical device companies to advance their technology to make it robust and ready for clinical trials and subsequent commercial introduction. I do this by enabling the team to make good, data-driven, design decisions and develop a good understanding of tradeoffs and opportunities. This helps my clients to meet deadlines, stay within budget, and plan based on predictable outcomes.FPrin's clients typically have one or more of these three issues:1. They keep coming to dead-ends in their product development because they don’t have a good way of vetting conceptual designs. Because of this they often go over budget and miss critical schedule milestones. 2. Because they don’t have a good process for making good, data-driven, design decisions they spend too much time and money guessing, building, testing, and iterating. 3. Because they don’t have a model-based understanding of their system, they have a hard time knowing how to interpret test data and fall into a “test-to-success” mindset which often does not converge in a way that meets functional, schedule, and budget objectives.
