Optimal design and compliant documentation for medical devices
Operating errors are among the most frequent causes for accidents in medicine. The consequences are severe, as in most cases a human life is at stake. Safe and intuitive products can reduce these errors. User Interface Design GmbH (UID) accompanies you throughout the entire product lifecycle of your medical device: from the conception of the product idea to the development and the testing of the user interface until the submission of the Usability Engineering and Risk Management files at the certifying body.
UID offers consulting and support services for the design of medical appliances and medical-technical applications in the following fields:
- Diagnostics
- Therapy
- Maintenance of vital functions
- Data management in studies on the effectiveness of drugs
- Medical and pharmaceutical information systems
Our experts develop, design, evaluate and program user interfaces for
- measurement devices (e.g. to detect heart attacks, diabetes, or infectious diseases)
- diagnostic software (e.g. iron deficiency diseases)
- life-sustaining systems (e.g. heart-lung-machines)
- medical laser systems
- laboratory and hospital information management systems
- software systems for pharmaceutical enterprise resource planning
- websites of medical engineering enterprises
Usability can save life
The operating safety of medical devices is vital in two different ways: On one hand, medical devices such as a heart-lung-machine sustain the patient's life, on the other hand, errors that can have severe consequences on the patient can be avoided by easy and safe operation. The basic requirement for a successful design is the profound knowledge of usability and medical coherences as well as the integrative use of this knowledge.
Whether in a practice, in the operating room or in a clinical study: We develop operating concepts and user interfaces that take the diversity of medical operating situations into account. We design innovative technologies considering the different requirements and knowledge of the medical staff. From the senior physician to the nurse, from the patient to the caringrelative: each user is able to quickly understand and use new technologies.
Develop medical products with us that are quick, safe, and intuitive to use.
