"Gamification is the application of game-design elements and game principles in non-game contexts".

Research shows that the use of gamification instills a sense of meaning, provides a feeling of mastery, promotes autonomy, and creates super-engagement.

The integration of optics in products has increased dramatically over the last decade. Smaller cameras, faster processors, and wireless connectivity have shown the world how amazingly small and connected digital imaging can be. Packaging all of this technology into such a small space can be...

You jotted down a great idea for your new product or device on the back of a napkin. Now what? 

5G networks are not new networks; they are add-ons of new advanced technologies to the current 4G LTE-A (Gigabit LTE) networks.

In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) is a category of medical tests and devices that process and analyze blood and tissue samples to provide information for screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of diseases or other conditions. IVD tests are essential tools in everyday medical practice and emergency care that...

Quanta Dialysis Technologies, a British medical technology company developing a personal haemodialysis system (SC+) for patient use at home and in the clinic, has selected Benchmark Electronics as its production partner for the SC+ haemodialysis machine.

5G is the next phase in the evolution of global communication networks. When the technology is fully realized and implemented on a massive scale, we’ll see a world connected like never before. 

As innovation in neuromodulation continues to expand the capabilities of neurostimulation technology, medical device manufacturers will be incentivized to optimize the lead interface designs they use in their new products. A change to what seems like a minor sub-assembly can make an immense...

We asked Scott Wofford to answer a few questions about his time working as a U.S. Government contractor in Iraq and Afghanistan.  He describes how his amazing experiences working under extreme pressure helped him prepare to work with customers at Benchmark’s Tempe Design Center of Innovation today.
