Case Study
Healthcare has come to rely on technologies for better treatment and therapy because of emerging devices that are compact, easy to use and portable. Glide came across a need for one such device that has both cold Laser Therapy and micro current electrical stimulation. These combined therapies in one device can help patients to get faster relief from chronic shoulder/neck pains. Glide studied the therapy concept and designed complete hardware and firmware of the units. It also involved interactive design along with industrial design partner to make product easy to use and aesthetically appealing. The device uses a laser, electrodes for delivery of the electrical stimulation. A conductive gel is used to provide transmission path between skin and device. The device is simple to operate with just two switches and LED display and is controlled with a microcontroller. The device has enough battery to last for 3-4 days of use for doctors handling multiple patients in a day. Simply put, the team helped the customer to design the product at a lower cost compared to competition products in the market.

“We have the requisite know-how and experience to provide one- stop-shop experience.”
