Creating a successful medical device requires more than engineering excellence—it demands deep empathy for the people who use it every day. In this conversation, Insulet’s Joel Goldsmith shares how the team behind Omnipod approaches design, from engaging directly with patients to refining interfaces that must work seamlessly in real life. He will discuss how Insulet incorporates patient feedback into the design and development of Omnipod, the challenge of building intuitive interfaces that support daily diabetes management, and key lessons from designing consumer-grade experiences in a regulated medical device environment.
