Market Vs. Design Research

There’s a popular misconception that design research is equivalent to market research. The truth is that these two practices are very different in terms of scope, overall approach, gathering of data and end results.

Design research dives deeper into human behaviors, to better understand and incorporate patient demands into the finished product. Companies in the medical, life sciences and consumer health markets require consistency and quality that only design research can deliver. Only a firm that understands the intricacies of the design research process can help produce the highest level of quality through multiple phases of research, testing and development.
