Best Practices for Successful Wearable Device Development

Wearables are a fast-growing, complex market. But in all the attention that goes toward how a wearable device functions, some manufacturers may be overlooking an important factor as they design their products: how it attaches to the body.

Skin type, device placement, indication, timing, population and other variables influence device-to-skin bonding—and putting off adhesive supply chain decisions until the 11th hour can create a sticky situation. In this webinar, we explore common adhesive-related design issues wearable device manufacturers make, as well as the importance of collaboration between supply chain contributors.

You’ll learn:

• The basics of adhesive selection for wearable devices, including which materials might work for which contexts

• Why manufacturers should consider bonding implications as early as possible in device design

• Nuances in adhesive selections across regulation, payer policy, biocompatibility and more
