In the recent issue of NEA Arts Magazine, D-Rev’s prosthetic ReMotion Knee took center stage on the cover accompanied by a feature article on the organization in “Focusing on the Impact.” Author Paulette Beete spoke with Krista Donaldson about the organization’s approach to product design and the integration of impact assessment into their process.
“If you truly want to solve a problem, you have to take more of a systems approach to solving it,” said Donaldson. “You have to understand that designing a product is maybe 25 percent [of the process] but you still have to figure out how the product gets made and you have to figure out how the product gets to the people who need it and how they are going to use it.”
Following in the footsteps of past articles and talks, this one manages to reach a new audience to introduce the concept and potential of impact design.
