Radiotherapy device and kit to be rolled out to hospitals nationally

The radiotherapy product line was introduced into the medical industry as a means to replace current practices. Cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy are marked with small tattoos to align the radiotherapy machines and ensure accurate placement. Currently the industry standard is to use traditional ink, leaving a permanent mark on the patient’s body. Our objective was to use Ephemeral’s Made-to-Fade tattoo ink to reach beyond self-expression in the studio and into the medical space.


Responsibilities

My role as Product Development Engineer helped bring the radiotherapy product line through its entire project life cycle: from initial ideation, to concept development, through prototype fabrication and development of a go to market plan.

I partnered directly with the Engineering Design Director and produced all CAD work. I used our in-house 3D printer to prototype each part, including 3D printed jigs that were used for precision finishes. Additional responsibilities throughout the project included material and vendor research, design for manufacturability and design for scalability.

I spearheaded and conducted all research trials with the studio leads that led to the development of the final product concept. The trials included instructional material and feedback forms for subjects of different backgrounds (ex. medical partners, medical distributors, tattoo artists, and general HQ employees).

My renderings, animations, and how to videos were all included in investor decks, promotional materials and presentation decks.
