Recode Decode: Lora Haddock

Engineering

Lora Haddock, CEO of Lora DiCarlo, shares the intricate engineering journey behind the creation of the Osé product. Collaborating with Oregon State University, known for its top-tier robotics program, her team developed a groundbreaking device aimed at eliciting a blended orgasm by stimulating both the clitoris and the Graffenberg spot. This innovative approach required filing multiple patents to protect their intellectual property.

When I handed him a document that had 52 engineering requirements in order to create the product, he went, that's something we can do.

The partnership with Oregon State was crucial, as Haddock emphasizes the capital-intensive nature of engineering, which was made possible through strategic funding and collaboration 1 2.

   

Biomimicry

The Osé product stands out by employing biomimicry instead of traditional vibration, aiming for a more natural and human-like experience. Lora Haddock explains that the device uses micro-robotics to mimic human touch, a significant departure from the conventional use of vibrators. This approach required extensive research into human physiology to create a product that fits everyone and replicates the sensations of a human partner.

Penises don't vibrate. Hands don't vibrate. And I did not have this kind of orgasm using a vibrator.

Haddock's dedication to understanding erogenous zones and her healthcare background played a pivotal role in the product's development, highlighting the importance of innovation in intimacy solutions 3 4.
