DISCIPLINES

Design

We develop practical, human-centered device designs. We conduct human factors studies to drive requirements for ergonomics, aesthetics, and user experience, and we align design iterations with the product’s commercial strategy.

Overview

Design is where a selected concept becomes a device people can use safely and effectively. We help biomedical innovators understand how clinicians and patients interact with the device, translate those insights into requirements, and develop designs that balance user needs, ergonomics, aesthetics, and function. The result is a device design that holds up in human factors testing and supports a successful regulatory submission.

What design covers

Design turns user needs into a device that performs in real-world use. Our work helps you define how the device should look, feel, and function, and confirm that it does.

  • Human Factors

    Usability tests, formative and summative studies, and focus groups that show how users interact with the device, conducted with external partners when needed.

  • Industrial Design

    Safe, effective device designs that integrate user needs, ergonomics, aesthetics, and function, refined through several iterations before reduction to practice.

Where design shows up

Design should lead once a concept is selected, carrying user needs into formal development. Human factors work continues through validation to confirm the device meets those needs.

PHASE 0

Concept Generation

Supports early sketches and form exploration.

PHASE 1

Concept Development

Supports ergonomics and usability feedback on alpha prototypes.

PHASE 2

Design & Development

Leads industrial design and formative human factors studies.    

PHASE 3

Verification & Validation

Supports summative human factors testing and labeling usability.

PHASE 4

Design Transfer

Not involved.

The ROI on better design

Design decisions determine how safely and effectively your device is used. A design grounded in human factors reduces use-related risk, avoids late-stage changes, and supports adoption.

Superior Quality

Devices that are safe, effective, and intuitive to use.

Lower Development Costs

Usability issues resolved before they require costly redesigns.

Faster Time to Market

Human factors evidence ready to support your regulatory submission.

Protectable IP

Distinctive design features worth protecting.
