  • Sensory Design Medical Devices

    The medical devices in the masthead above have vastly different purposes. One thing that’s common is they all have some combination of sensory aspects. Sensory design uses affordances (perception of design features intuitively suggesting a functional task) and semantics (conveying meaning and information about the product’s use and function through sensory cues). Both can be communicated through our five senses with the most common being visual, tactile and auditory.

  • Developing Medical Devices With Software

    Developing medical devices with software involves a wide-ranging set of unique challenges. Our software engineering team offer advice on offered advice on software in medical devices, FDA, Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), risks, cybersecurity, and Open Source software.

  • Medical Device Project Manager Skills

    A Project Manager navigating this complex medical device development landscape requires the ability to marry traditional Project Management Skills with the specificity of medical device industry practices that focus on patient outcomes and regulatory requirements. This article includes 5 skills that expert project manager, Shalaka Maind, deems crucial to medical device development success.

  • Productivity Drains and Solutions

    Can’t get your medical device development work done on time? We crowdsourced this dilemma to our employees, and they shared their biggest productivity drains and solutions. Spoiler alert: there were nine drains and five of them share the same solution.

  • Visual Project Management Manufacturing

    Ensuring on-time medical device manufacturing builds are done in a timely manner requires coordinating across several teams including engineering, manufacturing, and quality. Visual Project Management (VPM) and Manufacturing Production Schedules (MPS) help improve manufacturing performance and meet build delivery deadlines.

  • Project Review Meeting Elements

    How to ensure team members leave project review meetings feeling seen, heard, understood, and hopeful about future projects. This article discusses four proven project review elements that deliver a game plan to address key issues and drive improvements.

  • CM&S Improve Medical Device Development

    Computational modelling and simulation (CM&S) has been used for decades as an assistive tool for medical device design and development. Real-world examples of gathering evidence for submission to regulatory bodies, investigating fluid dynamics, structural, thermal, electro-magnetic, fluid-structure interactions, and other multiphysics problems.

  • Derisking Medical Devices Vibration Analysis

    The impact of vibration on medical devices can be understood through a combination of vibration analysis and testing. This article reviews medical devices most susceptible to vibration, provides basic theory and methods of vibration analysis, and summarizes the benefits of using modal analysis when developing medical devices.
