“We develop medical products to make a positive change, enhancing and improving the lives of people. We enjoy the complexity that comes with medical design and exploring new solutions. We design to create products that excel, are beautiful and truly have added value.”
Creating value by innovating medical technology
With over 20 years of experience in product development as part of multidisciplinary development teams we help you to develop successful medical devices and manage innovation projects.
We can help you with:
Product development
Concept development: Transforming a value proposition into a physical form. Creating synergy between usability, technology, proposition and context.
Design for usability: Involve the user throughout the project to achieve the best possible experience and fit for function.
Design for manufacturing: A concept has no value if it can’t be manufactured. Production techniques and materials must be selected based on required performance.
Innovation management
Project management: Co-ordinating the efforts of multi-disciplinary teams
Product and design strategy: Creating the right target product profile and roadmap to meet unmet user needs.
Team coaching: Unlocking a group’s potential so they can excel.
Design control: Providing evidence that your product fulfils its intended purpose safely
We change your technology into products by creating synergy between business, users and product performance. Using our knowledge and expertise in the medical field we are able to deliver fit for function solutions that promise and deliver what people need. This is done while meeting the strict demands of regulations.
FUSE has a practical user centred approach to create true value for people. We work closely together with you, harnessing that creative energy that is generated when working on something completely new and innovative in an organised proces with short lead times.
DESIGN APPROACH
Positioning + Perception + Performance + People
A successful product tells a consistent story in all of its aspects. It should meet the users expectations and needs through its performance and usability. The design must communicate what the user can expect from the product. We make products in which performance, usability and design together are more than each separate aspect. We help you define brand and product values that are unique and appreciated.
If done correctly, the design of the product will promise what people need and it's performance will deliver what is promised. Aesthetics are used to communicate the promise, functionality and to guide workflow. Engineering defines performance and price. Synergy is created through a combination of design and engineering.
MDR and ISO 13485 ready
We organise our projects in such a way that everything is in place to get your product CE-certified according to the requirements of the MDR. We can even help you organise your quality management system so you are ready to introduce your product in the market.
Understand - Explore - Choose - Engineer - Deliver
We do fast iterations and build practical working prototypes as soon as possible to evaluate our ideas with you and the users. Our organised development process integrates risk management and documentation to get your product certified in the shortest time possible.
Any development process goes through a number of steps. After each step we evaluate the project together with the client. Design is an iterative process. Starting with rough concepts going in to increasingly more detail with each loop. Design and engineering go hand in hand from beginning to end.
User Centered Industrial Design
Our working methode keeps the user at the center of the design process. Throughout the process we constantly verify whether we are making a product that people need and want to work with. This starts in the first orientation phase in which we do benchmark studies
on competitor’s products with your users. The results of these studies are the guideline for further development. In later phases we test increasingly realistic prototypes to guarantee that the final product will deliver the required usability and performance.
