Abstract
In the process of developing a healthcare product, it is significant to consider the insights from all the players affiliated. Right from the patients, caregivers, doctors, nurses, and even the manufacturers, they help in the evolution of the product, making it feasible, viable, and desirable. Their role is of great importance to the patient to use it in their abnormal or normal or both period and help the healthcare professional to get the information needed for better diagnosis and treatment of the patient. Understanding comes through prototypes as they are eminent in generating insights and help assess the designer and developer to what to deliver. Prototypes in each stage help are pivotal to set the features and get to know what works and does not. This paper is an attempt to understand the pros and cons of generic linear prototyping patterns and to assess the effect of parallel prototyping, which allows the team to be more explorative and divergent.
