At Goddard Technologies, we understand that designing medical devices isn’t just about engineering—it’s about creating solutions that transform lives. Our relentless commitment to human-centered design sets us apart in the world of medical technology (MedTech) engineering and design. We put people at the heart of product development, ensuring that every decision reflects the needs, preferences, safety, and experiences of end users while ensuring an accelerated time-to-market for our clients through enhanced validation testing that creates solutions and skirts avoidable product errors from the onset.
In the dynamic landscape of medical device development, user-centric design is paramount. Medical devices require adhering to stringent regulations and standards and an error-proof user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design. Our approach meets designers and engineers at any step of the development process and places the patient, the healthcare provider, and all stakeholders at the core of every decision. By integrating the voice of every person in your product ecosystem, we ensure that your MedTech solutions don’t just meet regulatory standards but exceed user expectations.
Exceptional user experiences that drive unparalleled customer satisfaction, boost market acceptance, and, most importantly, improve patient outcomes.
A successful development journey begins with understanding the intricate interplay between design and user experience. At Goddard, we’ve made it our mission to master these dynamics, providing you with a wealth of knowledge and human factors engineering (HFE) experience, including:
Our in-depth understanding of human factors ensures that your medical device design optimally accommodates the physiological and psychological needs of users through highly individualized user and validation testing.
We adhere to ergonomic standards to create designs that reduce user fatigue and error and improve safety.
Our knowledge of industry-specific best practices guarantees that your medical device aligns with the highest benchmarks and regulations, including FDA and international standards.
We stay at the forefront of evolving best practices to provide innovative solutions that meet the changing demands of the healthcare industry.
We ensure your medical device’s safety and user experience by conducting thorough testing using a range of prototype fidelity levels, including low, mid, and high. Our testing methods, such as A/B testing and human factors validation, leave no room for guesswork, providing rigorous validation against real user data.
By partnering with Goddard, you access a wealth of knowledge and experience that’s essential for creating safe, effective, and user-friendly medical devices.
In medical device development, challenges often include:
Tight budgets
Technological constraints
Evolving regulations
Testing and evaluation limitations
What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to user empathy and collaboration and HFE expertise. We don’t just design for you—we design alongside you, ensuring that your medical device aligns perfectly with your vision, regulatory requirements, and user needs.
Our collaborative approach results in innovative solutions that transcend traditional boundaries, ultimately enhancing patient care and clinical workflows.
Navigating the complex landscape of medical device development requires a roadmap that balances regulatory compliance, design standards, and marketability.
