Capnia
Migraine Delivery System
Capnia is a private company developing novel therapeutic products using its proprietary medical gas delivery system to treat acute migraine headaches. Currently, 28 million Americans and over 240 million people worldwide suffer from this debilitating condition. Starting in 2003, D2M assisted Capnia with its development through both Clinical Trials and Commercial device development. D2M’s contributions include: conceptual innovations, industrial design management, FEA and tooling resources, in-house verification builds and testing, contract manufacturer identification, and manufacturing implementation support.
Client Testimonial
"D2M's approach and inputs to product development and engineering have allowed Capnia to almost completely outsource our device development activities and delay building an internal department. They have done whatever is needed to support the development activity. D2M's engineers have exhibited the passion and dedication to our program - long hours, working holidays, work travel - we would otherwise only hope to get from full time, in-house employees.”
- Mark Platshon, Past President and CEO of Capnia
The Details
Our three year strategic partnership with Capnia started with the technology development and packaging of their device for clinical tests. Working closely with Capnia, D2M helped establish the device requirements and benchmarked available gas control options. Through rapid prototyping and brainstorming, D2M generated a breakthrough, pocketable, and intuitive device with precise topical application control. We detailed and documented the final design for low volume production. Using feedback from Capnia and clinical trial participants, our mechanical engineers revisited the design for further improvements. Our next iteration decreased the size of the device by 50%, while subsystem integration reduced part count by 50% and simplified assembly. We improved user acceptance through a refined user interface and detailed and documented the final design for medium to large volume manufacturing.
