  • Service Design Medical Device Development Description: Healthcare worker looking at screen of her equipment

    Integrating service design with user-centered design when developing medical devices can enhance device usability, efficiency, and outcomes.

  • Voice of the Customer Medical Device Research

    7 Tips for conducting Voice of Customer medical device research in Low- and Middle- Income Countries (LMICs) is an integral component in user-centric design and development. It is increasingly an expectation of regulatory bodies.

  • 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.

  • A close-up of a medical professional wearing blue gloves and a white lab coat, working with a combination medical device on a mannequin arm. The text overlay reads "Combination Devices in Clinical Trials: Bridging Two Worlds."

    In this episode of Bio Break, StarFish Medical experts Joris and Nick break down the key differences and similarities between clinical trials for medical devices and pharmaceutical products. As the conversation unfolds, they provide valuable insights into the distinct processes and challenges associated with these two types of trials, including the complexities of combination devices that bridge both worlds.

    9 ways to use AI in medical device development from our experts include Connected Medical Devices, QA/RA, Developing (real time) Simulations, Expedite Design Process, Analysis and Research, Supplier Evaluations, Project Reviews, Brainstorming, and Administrative Help (Faster than Google).   

  • 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.
