This is actually what I want to explore for my conjecture. This system is exactly what I want to use. By reading the information about Omnipod, I learned a lot about how to design something like this. Looking at the various features Omnipod offers, such as being wearable, waterproof, and tangle-proof, I realized there are many factors I need to consider for my design as I go through Omnipod\u2019s introduction. There are lots of UI\/UX elements I can focus on, think about, and use as design references. Seeing and learning from a completed, well-designed product on the market helps me better understand what I should aim for and what can be considered &#8220;usable.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, one thing I realized is that the brand language isn\u2019t very strong in this product. So, I\u2019m wondering if they did this on purpose or not. When designing a medical product like this, should I also make my brand language an obvious part of the product?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reference: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omnipod.
