Medical Product Development

Your medical device – safe, fit for purpose, and user-centered.

We support you in implementing the usability requirements for medical devices specified in DIN EN 62366-1. Our service goes beyond mere compliance: we create use specifications, develop intuitive user interface operating concepts, perform usage-related risk analyses, and accompany your project from planning to the evaluation of formative and summative tests.

MEDICAL 720° – The BUSSE method for outstanding medical devices

Our unique MEDICAL 720° method approaches product development from two essential perspectives: that of the UI/UX designer and that of the industrial engineer. We combine the user-oriented human-centered design process with a three-dimensional functional approach. The result is products that combine optimal operating concepts with ergonomics.

This holistic view ensures that you receive a well-designed and user-friendly product that leaves a positive, brand-defining impression thanks to its professional design. Usability, optimal operability, and process reliability are key quality features for us and a normative prerequisite for the success of medical devices.

Achieving success with formative and summative usability tests

Our usability engineering approach is a structured process that ensures your medical device not only complies with standards, but is also intuitive to use. We guide you through every step of the way:
