MANUFACTURING
Design details has increasing impact to the manufacturing processes, product price and optimal supply chain selection. Understanding of requirements for a medical product is not easy and often proof from suppliers play a vital role in getting market approvals. Therefore, it is important to start strong co-operation with manufacturing party and part manufacturers in the beginning of development. A good partner shall have proper understanding how the challenges in the design phases impact the ramp-up of production in the post market phase. Join to hear and discuss about the typical challenges in the manufacturing line and tips how to avoid them.

USABILITY
Designing medical devices with the user in mind is essential for creating engaging, safe, and intuitive experiences. But how can we embed usability thinking into the earliest stages of development? John, a designer at Boid AB, will share how we approach usability in early product development—offering practical takeaways that combine user needs, effective ideation, and empathy for the end user from the very beginning of the MedTech design process.
