The Launch Report
Yona: For People With Vaginas
frog is excited to announce the launch of Yona, a new approach to radically empathetic healthcare for people with vaginas. The project began in January of 2017, when two frogs based in the San Francisco studio, Sahana Kumar and Hailey Stewart, set out to redesign the dreaded speculum used in pelvic exams. With the addition of Fran Wang and Rachel Hobart, the project grew to encompass industrial design, experience design, visual design, mechanical engineering, and extensive design research. The result is a stylish suite of proposed products, including an app that guides you through the process of the pelvic exam, updated amenities for the exam room, and of course, a speculum fit for the 21st century.
The Sensel Morph: An Input Device For The Future
After a rockstar Kickstarter campaign that reached and surpassed its goal in the first week, the Sensel Morph, a next generation input device, is now available on the market. Sensel worked in close partnership with frog in developing the Morph along with the brand and strategy behind it, emphasizing user insights from their key audience of musicians, artists, and creators of all walks. “Sensel came to us with a breakthrough technology that offers a huge range of possible uses. To align our strategy and product experience with our user’s needs, interests and ways of working, we mobilized a community of key influencers and early adopters, and involved them in the creative process.” said Ethan Imboden, Head of Venture Design at frog.

Plume Labs: The Flow
From an intensive six-week ideation and design period came the Flow, a stylish tie-on smart product that allows users to be informed about their own air quality exposure on the go. PlumeLabs worked closely with a multidisciplinary team in frog’s London studio to bring a sleek, beautiful package to their innovative air-tracking technology. frog also consulted on the next generation Plume Air Report digital application, which crowd-sources data to educate people about the importance of clean air and provide real-time information about air quality exposure. Available on the market this fall, the Flow underscores the need for beauty and a design-driven approach across interaction, functionality and build, as well as the value of this emerging market where air quality is rapidly entering the mainstream conversation.
