Signe has studied one semester at Johns Hopkins University in the United States of America, gaining insight into different aspects […]
After upgrading our Usability test facilities, we now have an observatory where our customers and ourselfs can observate users undisturbed during the Usability test. Vi udførte i Januar 2018 et brugerstudie i samarbejde med Technolution i deres nye testfaciliteter. De store lyse lokaler fungerede rigtig fint til formålet. Teamet og interessenter fra virksomheden kunne […]
Victor is one of Technolution’s student assistants and will be involved in all aspects of the product development phase from concept, prototyping, mechanical development to testing, documentation and production setup. Besides working for Technolution, Victor is studying his master’s degree in Design and Innovation at The Technical University of Denmark and is planning to […]
When developing medical devices many challenges must be overcome but Design Control does not have to be one of them. Design control is a set of quality practices and procedures incorporated into the design and development process to control the design process and assure that device specifications meet user needs and intended use. […]
Identifying, estimating, and evaluating your device risks at the right time will increase the quality and safety of the device and can motivate the project members. Furthermore, it adds value by decreasing the project risks and avoiding costly late-stage changes. An effective Risk Management process is mandated by regulatory authorities (21 CFR 820 and 93/42/EEC […]
Design Input – agreeing on what to design Development projects are complex and often the team is not even in the same location. Writing unambiguous and specific design input requirements are of the utmost importance. According to a study that included large, medium, and small companies (incl. healthcare), opinions about why projects are impaired and […]
Save time and money by focusing on Usability Engineering For some, it might seem obvious that for a product to be successful, the User Interface needs to be easy, safe and effective for the users to use, which requires a dedicated focus on designing and evaluating the interface. For others, it might seem excessive to […]
How design changes impact usability A lot of medical device manufacturers often wish to update their devices through the product life cycle. This can be software updates or minor aesthetical or functional modifications to the design. However, regardless of the update to be implemented, all changes must undergo an impact assessment in terms of their […]
Why plan your Usability Engineering activities? What is User Interface Evaluation planning and why should you make an evaluation plan in the beginning of your project? Most larger projects begin with a detailed plan, which is then updated as the project progresses. This is an important tool to ensure progress and movement in the […]
Getting your device faster on the market by integrating separate processes In many projects Usability Engineering, Risk Management and Design Control are three separate processes. Though this is partly true, there are also lots of overlap and dependencies between them. This article briefly describes how you can integrate these activities to increase the chance of […]
We are proud once again to have been able to help one of our clients achieve full ownership of patents on an innovative solution. This time we take joy in the fact that we have been credited as co-inventors of two patent. These have been achieved through an interdisciplinary and creative focus on the solution, […]
Certified in activities regarding: Design, development of Medical Devices and lvD Medical Devices. Risk Management and Usability Engineering activities. We celebrate our certification to ISO 13485: 2016, the international standard for medical devices. It is a long-awaited update from the well-established ISO 13485: 2003. We have been working on implementing ISO 13485: 2016 […]
“Please explain Test and Verification in simple terms” – we get this question quite often. A great part of our work at Technolution revolves around building robust test methods. That are focused on generating knowledge and insights early in the development process of medical devices. The foundation for working with medical device test methods is […]
Lars Eilertsen has a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from the Technical University of Denmark (2003). After working in the office furniture industry, he joined Technolution for six years where he worked on assignments for Radiometer, Coloplast and Novo Nordisk. Now Lars has returned to Technolution after seven years at Novo Nordisk, where he […]
Deciding on whether or not you should invest in Augmented Reality today, is not easy. If you get on board too soon, you risk investing in something the world is not yet ready for. Getting on board too late and you’ll risk losing your market or growth potential. We know, it’s not easy! But, perhaps […]
It is the common understanding that engineers are not the most talkative and extrovert of people, myself included. Many of you probably know this joke, but I will tell it anyway because it is right to the point. “How do you tell the extroverted engineer from the introverted engineer?” “The extroverted engineer is looking […]
Marianne graduated from DTU in February 2018 with M.Sc. degree in Design and Innovation engineering. Marianne did her thesis in collaboration with Velux focusing on lifetime robustness of windows. Marianne has previously worked at Technolution as student assistant and later as R&D engineer. Here she gained experience in test method development and documentation as […]
Facilitation is key to bringing fresh perspectives into common design and engineering tasks. It has been shown to improve creativity, decision making, team cohesion and overall performance. Workshops that are not facilitated properly often result in unmotivated participants and an output with too narrow a solution space and too little innovative ideas. To help […]
Kasper has just finished his master’s degree in Engineering Design and Applied Mechanics at DTU. He wrote his thesis in collaboration with Velux in the field of Robust Design. The aim was to develop and validate a numerical calculation model to determine wear in sliding bearings with regards to Reliability Engineering. In 2015 Kasper […]
