Actegy Health approached Team Consulting to develop the next generation of their successful flagship product, the Circulation Booster. Its success had attracted many cheap imitations; to defend market share Actegy wanted a product with high visual impact at the point of sale, reduced cost of goods, a simple user interface and an iconic visual language.

At Team I was Lead Designer on the project, later taking on project management for the follow-up product, Revitive LV. During a workshop with Actegy and key opinion leaders we analysed competitor products and defined key demographics and their treatment needs to create a product roadmap.

The refinement of Revitive’s brand experience allowed the team to simplify the interface, removing unnecessary features to create a more iconic design.

Refining the design

Key elements were refined - the shape and feel of the electrode pads, and the rocker that allows for improved ankle movement - while the interface was reduced to a single dial and a handful of controls.
