Reliable and safe medical devices and software

Above all, medical devices must be reliable and ensure patient safety. Usability plays a central role, as devices are often used in demanding and critical care environments. Health technology increasingly makes use of new technological solutions such as machine learning and data-driven decision-making, which places specific requirements on both the devices themselves and the supporting software.

Our comprehensive health technology expertise spans the design of medical devices from industrial design through to mechanics, electronics and software. We understand the regulatory requirements of the sector and have strong capabilities in functional safety, information security and risk management. We recognise how critical device reliability and the protection of patient and health data are throughout the entire lifecycle of a device.

Our customer solutions are used, among other things, in asthma diagnostics, quantitative and qualitative measurements, detection of molecular pathogens, intelligent access control, efficient allocation of care resources and nurse call systems.

Design and usability

We manage the entire lifecycle of medical device product development, from early design through to production launch. User-centred design and good usability are key competitive factors that improve patient safety and streamline the work of healthcare professionals. We support our customers in developing functional and compliant products without compromising adherence to regulation and standards.

Energy-efficient, network-connected medical devices

Medical devices are increasingly connected to the cloud. Typically, functions such as device management, asset management and data collection require network connectivity. With network-connected medical devices, particular attention must be paid to the security of sensitive data. These devices often require very low power consumption, especially in the case of battery-powered devices.

New technologies

New technological solutions have also gained a foothold in medical device development, for example in the fields of machine vision and hyperspectral imaging. We operate at the forefront of new technological solutions in medical devices as well.
