Your medical device design and development partner for your biomedical innovation.

Biomedical innovators often struggle to develop devices effectively and meet their objectives. They are faced with increasing technical complexity, challenging requirements, and high costs. We provide the expertise and resources to help them overcome these challenges and meet their goals.

At Design by Boyd, we partner with biomedical innovators to develop complex devices with superior functionality and intuitive user experiences—ultimately, providing them with a more successful design.

We help you turn Just Might into Just Mighty.

_BK25091_1 Color (960 x 540)

We work with clients to translate clinical ideas into device concepts. We will outline a compelling and executable business strategy, create a clear product concept with a detailed development plan, and appropriately identify risks. Many projects begin with Concept Generation; however, in some cases, if an idea is sufficiently defined, a project may proceed directly to Concept Development.

We work with clients to refine and select device concepts to assess feasibility and gather feedback to understand the user experience. We will design, build, and adjust alpha prototypes while conducting informal testing and analysis. Concept Development is conducted without design controls in place, but will begin to establish design control documentation to support the design history file and subsequent design and development phases.

We will complete the design, prototyping, and testing process such that the product and subsystem specifications can be frozen and are testable and traceable. We will optimize the design for manufacturability (DFM) and freeze the bill of materials. Our work during Design & Development will be completed under engineering-level design controls.

We will confirm that the product works as designed and meets the user's needs through objective evidence during Verification & Validation. We will ensure that the product meets requirements for functionality, reliability, usability, and safety through rigorous verification and validation testing. We will complete engineering builds, packaging design, labeling, human factors testing, manufacturing tooling and equipment, and pilot production builds.

We will transfer validated products into their commercial manufacturing setting and support process verification and validation. During Design Transfer tooling, process verification and validation, and risk management will be completed. Products are set up appropriately for ongoing commercial production and quality control with the manufacturing partner.

What’s the ROI on Better Product Development?

Better design and development drive measurable outcomes. Organizations that achieve improved product development enhance quality through better device usability and functionality, reduce the cost of product development and cost of goods sold, accelerate time to market for product launches and future product iterations, and increase innovation with more protectable intellectual property.

FREE ASSESSMENT

Design a Better Device

Get your free design assessment to help you understand where you are in the design and development process today, what gaps you need to fill, and the critical next steps you need to take. We start with a discovery call and then we create a written assessment summarizing where you are today and a high-level plan outlining our recommended steps to meet your future objectives. Our assessment is free - it requires no cost or commitment from you.

Our Approach

 

Discovery

We begin by understanding where you are today, what you already have in place, and your future objectives. We accomplish this in one or two discovery meetings. 

 

Assessment

We create a written assessment summarizing where you are today and a high-level plan outlining our recommended steps to meet your future objectives.  

 

Statement of Work

We develop a detailed statement of work for the first phase of your project. The statement of work outlines the project timeline, deliverables, costs, and key milestones.
