Consumer Product & Medical Device Development Foundations Workshop
Are you ready to take the next step in vetting your ideas and prototypes?
You have a device concept. You've thought it through. But do you have the documentation to prove it's viable—to funders, partners, or even yourself?
Join us for a 75-minute virtual workshop where you'll build the foundational materials every device needs to move forward. We'll walk you through documenting what you're building, who it's for, and how it works—the essential building blocks for grants, investor conversations, and industry partnerships.
What You'll Walk Away With:
✓ Grant-ready documentation you can use immediately
✓ Free personalized device risk analysis (powered by FEEBEE software)
✓ Development roadmap showing your strengths and gaps
✓ Materials ready for funding & partnership conversations
Who Should Attend: Building a device or consumer product? This workshop is for teams with a concept in development—whether you're technical or not. If you've been thinking through your idea and are ready to get it documented properly, this is for you.
The Process: During this hands-on workshop, you'll work through structured prompts that help you articulate:
Your product's intended use and core functionality
Who your device serves and in what contexts
Your system architecture and physical design
Early risk considerations and regulatory pathway
No formal documentation experience required—just bring clarity on what you're building.
Bonus Value: Attendees receive invitations to two follow-up workshops later this year:
Workshop 2: Usability testing, data handling, and equity considerations
Workshop 3: Validation planning, market access, and regulatory compliance
Together, these workshops create a complete foundation for taking your device from concept to commercialization.

Why This Matters: Early-stage documentation isn't just paperwork—it's how you discover what you don't know yet. It's how you avoid building the wrong thing. It's how you prove to funders and partners that you've thought this through.
