Medical Design Flatrate

In our experience, really good designers are very hard to find. What’s more, really good designers are paid accordingly. This is even more true if they are really good designers with medical device experience.

In addition, a great medical device typically requires many different design disciplines. Sometimes it’s the user interface designer, sometimes it’s the UX designer. Sometimes it’s a logo, sometimes a graphic. It is almost impossible to find one designer who is a master of all these disciplines. Designing a medical product is therefore more of a task for a design team.

With our flat rate, you can save yourself the time and money involved in finding one or more suitable designers, as we already have outstanding designers with many years of medical device experience.

The option to pause or cancel the flatrate at any time also gives you much greater flexibility.

We design medical devices on a daily basis and have also worked with our clients to get various medical devices cleared. Therefore, we have a proven track record in the field of medical devices.

In addition, we only employ excellent designers in our team. Not only do we say this, but so do the juries of various design awards. Every single one of our designers has already won a Red Dot Design Award or a German Design Award. Many of them even several times.

In a design stream, the tasks you submit are processed one at a time. You can create and collect as many tasks as you like in your design board. You have the option to activate one task for each booked design stream. Once the task is activated, you will receive the iteration within an average of 2 business days. You then give us feedback and we complete the task or iterate again. If your priorities change, you can activate another task at any time.

The design board is our shared management platform in the form of a Kanban board. You can create and manage any number of tasks on this board. You can also see which tasks we are currently working on. You will also receive the result of the task via the design board after we have completed it and you can give us your feedback. This way you always have an overview and control.

Yes, you can. You can create as many tasks as you like on our shared design board. You have the option to activate one task for each design stream you book. This means you always have control over what we work on next.

If you do not need us temporarily, you can pause the Medical Design Flatrate at any time for up to 5 months. After pausing, we will continue to work on the active task(s) as normal until the end of the billing month. The pause will begin at the end of the current billing month. During the pause, you will still have access to the design board and can continue to create tasks. However, we will not process them until after the pause has ended.

If you no longer need us, you can of course cancel at any time. If you cancel, we will continue to work on your active task(s) until the end of the current billing month. At the end of the billing month, you will lose access to the design board and your content will be permanently deleted. If you only want a short break, you can also pause the Medical Design Flatrate instead of canceling.

A billing month is a single billing period. For example, if you commission us on the 16th of a month, the billing period runs until the 16th of the following month.

A pause/cancellation is always effective at the end of the current billing month. For example, if your billing month ends on the 16th, and you notify us on the 5th that you wish to take a break, we will work until the 16th on your designs. The break will then take effect.

Because requirements can change quickly, we are as flexible as possible. If you need more design streams, we can usually accommodate this immediately, or no later than the next billing month. If you need one less design stream, the change will take effect the next billing month.

If you book the optional package, you can also outsource product design tasks (e.g. housings, physical switches, sensors attached to the body, etc.) to us. So we also take care of the physical design of your medical devices.

With the optional Audit-proof package, you get much more than “just” the design. You also get access to our usability engineering and regulatory team. Our experts will then help you find the right regulatory strategy, assist you in designing and planning appropriate human factors studies, conduct the studies for you (excluding external costs such as travel, recruitment, incentives, lab rental and study materials), evaluate the studies and document the results. Upon request, we can also participate in the actual audit and present our work (excluding external costs). This means that you are optimally positioned and can react flexibly. For you, the Audit-proof package means that we take on all work within the scope of your design streams that is located and required anywhere in the area of usability engineering.

Yes, we are a full-service usability engineering provider for manufacturers of medical devices and IVDs. Our services range from initial product strategy, user interface design, product design and front-end development to international usability evaluations and post-market surveillance.
