Can you really get serious on Pinterest?
It’s just for pictures of cute puppies and nice wallpaper, right? Wrong!
The slightly ‘fluffy’ nature of Pinterest might seem at odds with the serious world of science and healthcare. But a growing acknowledgement that the aesthetics of medical device design can have a huge effect on patients means that taking a visual approach to innovation certainly has its place. And so, here are our favourite boards for medtechers to get inspired…
1. German design agency Wilddesign specialises in making products look beautiful, and call themselves ‘creatives with confidence’. Here are their best boards
Medical design
