Medical Design Trends 2020

Creating a WILDQARD Set for our trend knowledge

In 2018, we last summarized our trend knowledge about medical design trends in a 100-page book.

> the book is still available here as pdf-Download

In the meantime some new trends have been added and knowledge transfer in general also goes different ways. We have therefore decided to publish the update for 2020 as a practical card set so that all 32 trends can be quickly understood and this trend knowledge can flow playfully into design thinking workshops.

The deeper research of the 32 trends will take place during the world fair MEDICA 2019 from 18 to 21 November 2019 in Düsseldorf. If our trend spotters address you, you can count yourself lucky, because then your products are obviously in line with major trends. Thank you very much for your support in advance.
