How modular design is redefining medicine

by Studio 61

ith the number of smartphone users expected to reach over 2 billion this year, how do you design a phone to meet the individual needs of all those people? Until recently, we’ve seen a one-size-fits-all approach to mobile design, but now, customization is king.

With the introduction of the Moto Z and Moto Mods we’re exploring how modularity has the power to redefine what our devices can do for us. Suddenly, a device transforms to meet your needs in any situation, with hardware that offers specialized functionality.

This is particularly exciting in the field of medicine. With a simple addition of a new module, doctors become more mobile and patients are empowered to be proactive about their health.

Max Lugavere, author and documentary filmmaker, met with the engineers at EyeNetra, a startup developing high-tech medical devices for the smartphone.
