Frontend Development
User interfaces for medical and health products must not only be usable without unacceptable risks, but also be implemented reliably. This is exactly where our development team comes in.
We develop high-quality, regulatory-compliant front ends for your medical or health product – modern, visually appealing, functional, and intuitive to use.
If you wish, we can provide everything from a single source: from user interface design and usability testing to the finished code, including documentation.
How we help
We help you translate your UX and UI designs into a high-quality, functional, and regulatory-compliant front end for your medical or health product.
- Consulting on the Right Front-End Technology
- Implementation or creation of UI designs and style guides
- Development of Reusable Components
- Programming of core workflows and user processes
- Support for related activities such as formative evaluations or IFU design, as well as the final summative evaluation
- Documentation of Results
- Transfer of Source Code, Components, and Technical Documentation
How do we approach front-end development?
01. Assessment – Understanding the Product, Design, and Technology
We analyze the current status of your product, your design principles, technical requirements, and development processes. This allows us to lay the groundwork for a customized, secure, and compliant front-end solution.
02. Technology Selection – Laying the Right Foundation
We provide support in selecting appropriate user interface technologies. In doing so, we take technical and organizational requirements into account and ensure compliance with all relevant regulatory requirements.
03. Component Development – Consistently Implementing Design
We develop user interface components in accordance with your UI design, style guide, or design system. This results in reusable building blocks that ensure consistent behavior and a uniform appearance.
04. UI design, user testing, and more – all from a single source
We provide support as needed with user interface design, formative evaluations, IFU design, or even the final summative evaluation / human factors validation. This eliminates the need to coordinate with other service providers and leads to the faster development of an outstanding product.
05. Handoff – Provide Code and Documentation
Upon completion, you will receive the source code as well as all relevant development documents, including traceability. This will ensure you are fully prepared for the launch – or for future enhancements.
Certified for Excellence & Awarded for Design
We are certified to ISO 13485 and ISO 27001. This allows us to combine verified quality processes with secure handling of sensitive data – specifically for projects in the medical device and IVD sectors.
Our commitment to quality is also reflected in the design awards we have won. Among other accolades, we have won the “Red Dot Winner User Interface Design” award multiple times, as well as the German Design Award.

Why Custom Medical?
Many years of experience: Our team has many years of experience in designing critical and complex applications. That is why we implement front-ends in a way that ensures user guidance, functionality, and the medical context of the application are well-aligned.
Flexible Technology Selection: We advise you on choosing the right technology rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all solution. This results in a front-end solution that fits your product, your team, and your system landscape.
UX and Front-End Development Under One Roof: We offer you a seamless combination of UX/UI design and front-end development. The result is a front end that not only works technically but is also intuitive and consistent to use.
Technical Implementation with a Focus on Usability: As a UX and usability agency, we integrate proven usability principles directly into the development process. This ensures that workflows, interactions, and components are not only implemented but also refined with a user-centered approach.
Documentation Built In: We document development, decisions, and test results in a way that is transparent and traceable. This means you receive not only code, but also a structured foundation for further development and technical documentation.
Comprehensive Support: If you need more than just front-end development, we’ve got you covered: UX & UI design, usability engineering, testing, and support for Europe and the U.S. are all provided by a single team.
Data-Driven UX Design Process (3DUX®)
Our data-driven UX design process (3DUX®) puts real user data at the center – even during technical implementation. As a result, front-end decisions are based not only on technical assumptions, but also on user research, usability insights, and real-world usage scenarios.
This is how we develop front-ends that reliably translate high-quality UX and UI concepts into fully functional applications. User flows, components, and interactions are implemented in a way that makes them easy to understand, consistent, and safe to use.
The result: a front end that is tailored to your users, your product, the highest quality standards, and all regulatory requirements.

From Great Design to Great Code to Great Medical Devices: How to align IEC 62366-1 and IEC 62304 (On-Demand)
What is it about?
In many medtech projects, design, usability engineering, and software development start simultaneously but then gradually diverge. Programmed user interfaces may behave differently than planned, users may be unable to cope with workflows, and it may become nearly impossible to trace which decisions were relevant to safety later on. The consequences are rework, inefficient coordination, and uncertainty, which are often only visible during user tests or audits.
So, how can these unwanted silos be broken down? How can I ensure that excellent designs turn into outstanding code and, ultimately, great medical devices? This webinar will address these questions.
Dr. Benjamin Franz, Custom Medical’s Chief Growth & Innovation Officer, will demonstrate the issues that arise when IEC 62366-1 and IEC 62304 are processed in unintended silos and explain how to conceive them as a joint process.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- What great design, great code, and a great medical device actually are.
- Where typical breakpoints between design, usability, and software development arise and why even experienced teams are affected by them.
- How IEC 62366-1 and IEC 62304 can work together to help you avoid friction losses, extra work, and late surprises.

Move Safely – Agility in Medical Device Software Development (On-Demand)
What is it about?
Agile software development has long been established in many areas.
However, when it comes to medical device software, uncertainty often arises: How can the necessary flexibility be reconciled with regulatory requirements such as IEC 62304? What role does AAMI TIR45 play? And how can agility be prevented from leading to a loss of control, regulatory debt or increasing complexity?
This webinar deals with precisely these – and many other questions.
Daniel Ziegler uses typical project situations from practice to show you why classic development processes for medical device software often reach their limits, how agile procedures can be used in a regulatory sense and which typical pitfalls teams should avoid.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- Why classic linear development processes for medical device software repeatedly reach their limits when changes are made.
- What flexibility IEC 62304 allows for in the design of software development processes.
- How AAMI TIR45 helps to combine agile development with regulatory requirements.
- The typical pitfalls you should avoid in agile development of medical device software.

Trace Me If You Can: How to Keep Track of Medical Device UI Design Decisions (On-Demand)
What is it about?
Why was the button moved to the right? Why does the workflow look the way it does, and who decided on it? Questions like these arise in almost every development project. Without an rationale, endless discussions waste valuable time, and issues will arise during the audit.
In this webinar, Dr. Benjamin Franz, Custom Medical’s Chief Growth & Innovation Officer, will show you how to pragmatically and efficiently implement traceability in UI design. You will learn about the regulatory requirements of ISO 13485 and FDA QMSR; typical mistakes that occur in projects; and strategies that have been proven effective for documenting design decisions in a traceable, audit-proof manner.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- Which traceability regulatory requirements are absolutely essential
- 8 typical “traceability traps” from real projects – and how to avoid them
- 4 proven strategies for transparent decision-making and preventing unnecessary loops
