DESIGN EXCELLENCE FOR MEDICAL DEVICES

Meeting the design complexity challenge

Shorten iteration and development times and be more competitive – save time and costs through analysis and simulation.

Driven by technological possibilities and a patient-centric approach to optimizing the experience of using them, medical devices are becoming increasingly complex.

This sophistication presents a design challenge that spans ergonomics, electronics, engineering, fluid dynamics and therapy – all within a heavily regulated environment – which makes it tough to get products to market as quickly as you and your customers would like.

A single software environment across multiple design disciplines helps medtech companies innovate faster and cut costs. By using a digital twin, you can test in real-world conditions and optimize before expensive physical tests.

At its best, a digital twin will enable tests on multiple aspects of the design, from the flow of fluids in and around key components to the interplay between mechanical and electronic assemblies.

Working together on a single platform, design teams can identify and resolve issues far quicker than a traditional “over the wall” development lifecycle would allow.

Siemens virtual modeling and simulation software has helped Vyaire Medical transform its innovation process, shortening development times for some of its respiratory and anesthesia care products.
