The know labs device was designed to non-invasively measure physiological processes in the human body. The first implementation of the system is intended to function as a non-invasive glucose monitor. This breakthrough has the potential to improve the lives of all those with diabetes and pre-diabetes. Although it is a research tool and not commercially available, know labs felt it was important for their researchers to have a refined, robust device produced in quantities to enable reliable, consistent collection of large data sets and also inform the development of future devices.

2024 product launched
Working closely with engineering teams at seattle-based igor institute with knowlabs team, we developed the industrial design and mechanical design for the gen2 device and commissioned the production of a small quantity of enclosures and internal structural and shielding components.
We designed Know Lab Gen 2 to align with the soft and minimal design language of Gen 1, ensuring consistency and continuity in the product's aesthetic. Above all, as we aimed to create a portable wearable product, we carefully considered size and weight to ensure it would be comfortable and practical for consumers to wear.
