Melon: a headband and mobile app to measure your focus
The problem
Melon was one of the earliest innovators in the wearable space having developed a consumer EEG headband to monitor brain activity and apply neuroscience to understand how to use that data to improve wellness. The company had developed an early proof-of-concept, but needed a team to help engineer and manufacture a final product ready for the consumer market.
The Q Design solution
Q Design led the complete engineering of the headband, set up the supply chain, and oversaw the entire tooling, manufacturing and test processes until mass production. Melon was subsequently acquired shortly after launching the product.
