Congress Member Erik Paulsen visits WhiteBoard this week.

WhiteBoard was honored to have Congressman Erik Paulsen, an Eden Prairie resident, visit WhiteBoard this past Monday, along with his staff member Angie Hasek, to not only understand the world of WhiteBoard but also discuss the state of medical device design in Minnesota.

Paulsen is a strong advocate for medical device companies in Minnesota and wanted to learn more about the development process and the challenges facing medical companies and their outsource partners.  It was a pleasure spending time with him and sharing some of the increased regulatory challenges in medical device.

Robotic Therapy Animals? Yup!

Hasbro has recently entered the area of products for Senior Citizens with their Joy for all Companion Pets.  

For $99, this electronic companion pet cat serves as a therapy device.  It realistically responds to touch with purring and other motions using input from motion and light sensors.  So far the response has been great and users are commenting on how realistic the experience can be.

With ever increasing needs for demand and care of this growing demographic, there is a great opportunity for design to make living better.

NY during Toy Fair!

Three busy and amazing days exploring the Javits Center, braving subzero weather and blustery winds.  Elevated excitement presenting top secret concepts with working prototypes to back them up!  Pitching “the only… the first… the best…” in a high-rise suite, in the hall of a hotel, the back room of the convention center or under a table in front of Starbucks anywhere to get a chance to show your stuff!  We came prepared so only time will tell if a WBPS perfected concept will appear in a store near you!
