D-Rev: A non-profit that acts like a for profit to deliver world-class medical devices in underserved markets
Samuel Hamner, Ph.D., Design Engineer at D-Rev
Blum Hall B100
5:30PM dinner, 6:00PM seminar
D-Rev is a nonprofit product company that designs, and works with local partners, to deliver products that improve the lives and increase the incomes of people living on less than $4 per day. We are focused on developing products that alleviate poverty by delivering world-class, user-centric devices to base-of-the pyramid users who are often overlooked because of immature markets, complicated entrance strategies, and unique distribution challenges.
D-Rev follows three core principles in developing and delivering products: (1) Our products are world-class, meaning they perform on par or better than the best products on the market. (2) We take a market-driven approach, meaning that our business models are designed with profit margins built in to integrate into local markets and sell through the private sector. (3) We take a user-centric approach, working closely with end-users, field experts, key opinion leaders and all stakeholders in the customer value chain.
In this talk, I’ll give an overview of D-Rev, and then briefly discuss our two main products: Brilliance, a phototherapy device to treat neonatal jaundice, and the ReMotion Knee, a low-cost prosthetic knee for above-knee amputees.
