Humanfactors Design Works is a product development consultancy collaborating with some of the largest medical companies, pioneering research institutions, and dynamic startups to turn innovation into longterm value and faster time-to-market for our clients. For more than two decades, our award winning team has specialized in the research, design, and engineering of medical devices for all facets of the human body, including orthopedics, respiratory, wound care, drug delivery, epidemiology, and vision.
Our project diversity is what enables us to know our way around the operating room, to lead a focus group, to translate complex ideas into valuable IP. We work with startups, institutions, and industry to develop concepts throughout all phases of product development—from early stage data collection to market research, engineering and user testing to commercialization—enhancing the user experience, improving patient outcomes, and providing value to our clients.
What it’s like to work with us…
“I have had the privilege to work with Humanfactors on several projects in both disposable and implantable medical device product development. The projects ranged from market assessment and trends analysis to full partnership on new product development including user needs definition, concept design, prototype development, and end user feedback/incorporation. They take the time to entrench themselves in the projects to gain a full understanding of the requirements and then translate those into easily understood design elements and features. Their end product whether it is conceptual drawings, written reports and/or working models have always hit the mark and led to successful project outcomes. I look forward to the opportunity to work with them again on future project development activities.”
