Configurable Functions
How to Scope Massage Functions for a B2B Product Program
Function selection should follow the product concept rather than a feature checklist. Each function affects structure, electronics, controls, power, testing and cost, and not every Meilan model supports every option.
Match the function to the product experience
Pulse, heat, vibration and air pressure create different forms of stimulation and require different hardware. The useful question is which combination supports the intended body area, wearing method and user routine.
- Pulse stimulation for compatible electrode-based designs
- Heat or vibration where structure and power allow
- Air pressure for products designed around inflatable chambers
Treat connectivity and controls as system decisions
Bluetooth, remote controls, voice prompts and on-device buttons affect the interface as well as the internal design. Control requirements should be confirmed early so that the enclosure, firmware and labeling can be reviewed together.
Confirm compatibility model by model
A requested feature list is an input for evaluation, not a promise that all functions can be combined on any product. Meilan should confirm the feasible configuration against the selected model, target market and sample result before the specification is approved.
- Identify mandatory and optional functions
- Confirm the control hierarchy
- Validate the final combination through sampling
