Insight: Understand the user. Usability trials with children and their parents and grandparents reveal pain points that may not be identified with internal testing.
Insight: Our broad research into alternative products helped us identify the easiest attachment solution and offer a large range of adjustability: A band system inspired by sports injury knee supports.
