XCMR presented frog with powerful UV-C technology for pathogen inactivation. The challenge was to make it easily usable and fit modern expectations of technology in stressful, highly contaminated environments.  

Challenge

Innovating UV-C Solutions

The modular system features a transparent facial mask that enables clearer communication, interchangeable UV-C reactor pods that target specific pathogens and a hot-swappable battery that enables uninterrupted wear.

Solution

Optimizing pathogen defense

frog and XCMR developed an innovative new class of UV-C enabled respiratory protection devices that readily inactivates​ pathogens, enabling ​​​individuals​​​ to work​ safely​ in high-risk bioaerosol environments.

Outcomes

A modular approach

Mammoth sought to create CRISPR-powered diagnostic devices with the versatility to detect multiple pathogens at once, while remaining low-cost, simple and portable for use in homes and at the Point-of-Care (POC).  This meant translating foundational scientific discoveries into a wide range of beautifully crafted, trusted and accessible products with unique solutions for integrating technical elements.

Translating innovation 

frog helped Mammoth conduct multiple rounds of user research to discover patient and practitioner needs. Prototype devices were built around how real people use diagnostics and POC workflows. This data informed everything from devices’ workflows, physical and digital features, engineering architecture, to formal expression of brand identity.

Prototyping user research

By setting a clear direction for teams to follow, frog helped enable Mammoth’s vision to democratize lab-quality diagnostics. Together, we defined a set of north star products and brand strategy in the healthcare space, making its  ambition clear for both the product teams and potential partners.

“Working with the frog team to bring Lumen to life has been an exceptional experience. Their passion towards building and creating new products is unparalleled. We were continuously impressed by their thinking process, creative, consumer-centric design and team work.”


Lumen is an innovative device that measures metabolism with a single breath, helping to personalize a user’s nutrition plan based on real-time physiology and long-term health goals. frog helped the Israeli start-up bring Lumen to life, developing the product and user experience that launches as a crowdfunding campaign in July 2018.

The founders of Lumen approached frog to articulate a UX concept to support their hypothesis for a fast and accessible method for gathering real-time metabolic data. After they arrived at a component architecture, frog refined product concepts while exploring a design language and volume layouts within a series of prototypes.


From Concept to Prototype

frog developed a User-Centered Framework and Design Research “Boot Camp” curriculum to aid the Lumen team in learning to systematically evaluate product concepts directly with target users. The insights generated by user research guided their selection of a final product concept  for Lumen.


A Venture Design Approach

frog refined Lumen into a premium luxury object, designing details like lit graphics to bring the analysis process to life and a magnetic chrome cap to protect the air inlet and communicate product quality. frog’s detail engineering supported the development of working prototypes that were used to test the Lumen experience with beta users.

Luxury in the Details

At the end of the Lumen program, frog delivered an appearance model with final materials, a mechanical prototype to test the product assembly and a set of mechanical construction and design guidelines to inform the supplier on how to realize the series of working prototypes.

How AI-powered connected products are enabling Purina to grow their business for good  

Transforming Pet Care with AI

Delivering a first for Purina

purina-petivity-smart-litter-box-monitor-01

Purina acquired IP related to cat health monitoring that they wanted to incorporate into their first connected ecosystem offering. To be successful, the offering needed to be worthy of the Purina brand, meeting security, performance and pricing expectations of their customers, while also being a viable business. Purina needed a partner to guide them through the complex business and technical challenges associated with the journey to commercialization.

Orchestrating a business and technology transformation 

We applied our convergent design approach bringing a multidisciplinary team together to iteratively refine a solution that is viable as a business, desirable to consumers, technically feasible and sustainable. This resulted in delivering a cohesive connected system that allows hardware, software and AI to work together with a minimum carbon footprint; a new business, pricing and operating model that delivers value to Purina; and a delightful user experience that pet parents love.

Iterative convergent design

As a trusted business and technology transformation partner, we empowered Purina to focus on what they know best—pets and the people who care for them—while enabling Purina to successfully launch their first connected offering in less than two years. This has given Purina a powerful new direct connection to their consumers, opening up new sales channels and revenue models. More importantly, it has given pet parents peace of mind. Pet parents are celebrating the system with <a href="https://www.petivity.com/products/smart-litterbox-monitor" target="_blank">positive reviews</a> and crediting Petivity for saving their cats' lives.

Ready for launch

Innovation at scale

The Petivity Smart Litter Box Monitor is elegant in its apparent simplicity. But a lot of complex challenges were overcome to arrive at the ability to distinguish between multiple cats while protecting user privacy, keeping the user experience streamlined and hitting an aggressive price point. For example, it was crucial that the device didn’t require the use of intrusive cameras, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips or special collars.
