Empathy-Driven Kidney Health Innovations
In collaboration with a leading kidney health organization, Sunrise Labs developed a toolkit to guide innovators in creating user-centered solutions for chronic kidney disease. By integrating Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, patient interviews, and universal design principles, the toolkit enables developers to prioritize patient outcomes over technical metrics. This initiative fosters empathy between innovators and patients, driving transformative therapies.
Pivoting Diagnostics During a Global Pandemic
Sunrise Labs partnered with a client to create a HIPAA-compliant diagnostic platform paired with an at-home testing app. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the project pivoted to accommodate a new assay chemistry, enabling rapid scaling for COVID-19 testing. Sunrise’s user-centered design expertise helped deliver a consumer-friendly device capable of providing results in under 30 minutes, with European CE Mark approval.
