PDT - SynerG
SynerG is a next-generation Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system designed to provide accurate and real-time glucose readings for individuals who use insulin. Unlike traditional CGMs, SynerG is a single, compact device that simplifies application, enhances comfort, and seamlessly integrates into daily life.
Outcome
For insulin-dependent individuals, glucose monitoring is a critical but often inconvenient part of daily life. SynerG significantly improves this experience by offering a more comfortable, discreet, and user-friendly solution.
Service
Open Design worked with the internal engineering team to design the sensor and applicator through the lens of an ideal user experience.
Impact
PDT is continuing the path to further groundbreaking science and research. The design work done has helped to gain valuable investment and further the mission of the company.
How It's Different
SynerG offers a single-site system that integrates the sensor and transmitter into a compact, ergonomic form. By reducing the overall size, we improved user comfort and minimized interference with daily activities, including exercise and sleep. SynerG positions itself as a game-changer in the diabetes care market, offering significant business advantages for the brand. By addressing common user pain points—such as size, ease of application, and discretion—SynerG differentiates itself from competitors and appeals to a wider demographic, including first-time CGM users and those seeking a change from multi-site systems.
Refinements
The design of SynerG is a device that feels modern, intuitive, and unobtrusive. Clever sensor development and configuration minimizes bulk, ensuring that the device sits discreetly against the skin without disrupting the user’s daily activities.
The form development reflects soft top surfaces that reduce any potential snags and visibility under clothing. Subtle contouring mimics the body’s natural curvature, allowing for a secure yet comfortable fit. The actuator module was designed with clear visual indicators to intuitively guide users through proper placement.
