I found a need to redesign an existing medical product and I know there is a market, but I'm not sure how large.
The existing product has limitations that can cause people their lives if not under close supervision. The modification would be fairly simple. Some people have already patented some modified products and workarounds, but most are to complex or are basically a band-aid.
My first steps will be to find my market size and get more feedback from medical staff on the actual need for the redesign.
The following steps will be to draw up a rough draft, then get a 3D CAD model designed.
Next I'll be applying for a provisional patent before submitting the product for FDA approval.
I'm sure as I get deeper into this process I'll find more steps that need to be taken, but for now this is all I have.
Because money is really tight right now I'll be doing some of the design work myself. Good luck to me!
