More complexities arose: the addition of an antimicrobial ingredients had an adverse effect on the color harmony.
Keeping color harmony was essential, but more importantly, the OEM needed to demonstrate antimicrobial effectiveness to validate performance claims.
The resulting Smartbatch solution was developed specifically for the OEM’s patient mobility product, but was so effective that the OEM has plans to incorporate this technology into additional devices currently being developed.
