The need for a better tool. Planning a usability study – especially in medical device development – can be a cumbersome experience. Decisions need to be made on what to study and why, who to involve and why, and how to collect, treat, interpret and present data. Of course, all of this will be collected […]
Introducing the Usability Blueprint. Designing a usability study involves people from many different fields. Often, we see designers, anthropologists, UX professionals and QA specialists working together to cover all crucial aspects of the usability study. Based on experience from designing and planning multiple user-involving studies, we saw the need for a tool to easily facilitate […]

Not only will this benefit our colleagues, our clients who use and adopts our […]
The 3D-print technology has come a long way in the medical industry. Today we can expect far more than the classic plastic prototypes from the development process. There are rumours of mass production, but we’re not there yet. At least not in terms of large scale production of medical devices. The hype has vaporised and […]
You are reading the third part of an article trilogy about Design of Experiments (DoE). The trilogy covers the why, when and how to perform virtual DoE in the design process. By following these guidelines, you will experience a faster, smarter and cheaper way to get results that are vastly more reliable and ultimately a greater chance of succeeding […]

As shown in the graph above, only 31% of all 510(k) applications (Premarket Notifications) goes through the approval process without a request for ‘Additional Information’ (AI) from the US approval authority; U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This figure clarifies and emphasizes the bureaucratic and often confusing approval process that all medical devices must […]
A thought-provoking feature we recommend reading is this (Danish) piece from Ingeniøren. Technology is not something to be afraid of, even if you do not understand it. Think of what technology has done throughout human history. It is the very foundation of our development and it will continue to be. Those able to handle the technology […]
We recommend reading this article from The Economist. It has an interesting perspective. But we have a few comments from our side of the fence where we develop healthcare innovation in collaboration with both big pharma and start-ups. It is naive to think that the healthcare industry is falling behind because they haven’t yet […]
