The project goal was to collaborate with Maxima Biotech Inc., a Taiwanese medical device company, to aid the development of their upcoming advanced bipolar surgical device. Maxima recognized the potential profit involved with developing a cost-effective advanced bipolar surgical device for improved postoperative outcomes. From interviews with surgical experts, a social survey to understand consumer priorities and environmental sustainability, and competitor analysis on rival companies, the team gathered insights into safety, simplicity, and environmental impact for Maxima’s development. The team generated recommendations to improve the marketability of Maxima's advanced bipolar surgical device, addressing the need to reduce preventable surgical accidents through an innovative product.
