BD developed a functional prototype for a mobile drug delivery device in just 3 months using lean innovation principles. By tapping into key market trends like the decentralization of healthcare and identifying unmet needs across different stakeholders, BD hypothesized a solution featuring a smart, universal injector and pre-filled syringes. BD then partnered with an external organization to quickly build a prototype that could load, administer, and eject syringes remotely to prove functionality. Using lean principles like co-innovation and developing a minimum viable prototype helped accelerate innovation and reduce risks.
