Medical Design and medical device development

Innovative product design in the field of medical technology and healthcare is part of Milani's DNA. We have been working in this highly regulated industry for over 60 years. We understand and love the high level of user complexity and know how to design intuitive, safe and inspiring solutions for all users. We use our extensive expertise to develop customer-centric innovations. Consistently sustainable.

Trust by design: We achieve the balancing act between safe, functional and emotional medical devices

At Milani, we understand the strict regulatory requirements and high standards of hygiene and safety that your medical devices must meet in order to gain the trust of doctors, caregivers and patients. Whether in the hospital, laboratory or home care setting, the demands for ergonomics and usability are higher than ever. Our experience shows: In addition to technical perfection and functionality, an emotional component is crucial to creating medical products that really impress.

It is precisely in the complexity of these requirements that there is great potential for optimization and differentiation. With our comprehensive know-how and creativity, we harmonize all these elements and master the balancing act between high demands and award-winning design. Our decades of experience in medical technology enable us to develop products that are not only safe and ergonomic, but also emotionally appealing.

Our user-centered design approach for product development in medical technology

Usability and ergonomics are critical for medical devices. Milani incorporates the needs of all stakeholders into the medical design process. We analyze the various requirements in the context of use, e.g. through interviews or ethnographic studies in the field, and continuously implement them in the design. Milani thinks beyond pure product design and also develops customer- and patient-oriented services.

But our approach goes beyond pure product design: we also develop customer- and patient-centric services that improve the overall user experience. By testing prototypes, we involve patients and healthcare professionals directly in the development process. In this way, we integrate requirements early, test the practicality of our solutions, and create real value at all levels.

Sustainability in MedTech: Leveraging Competitive Advantages and Minimizing Risks

With the increasing requirements of EU legislation, it is becoming more and more important to integrate sustainability as a key component of risk management in product development - especially in medical technology, where long development cycles are common. New regulations such as the Ecodesign of Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), the EU Plastics Levy and the Battery Regulation are just the beginning. At the same time, stakeholder pressure is increasing: Hospitals must meet strict environmental targets, and investors expect compliance with ESG criteria. Even if your company is not directly affected today, proactively integrating sustainability will provide a competitive advantage and minimize future risks in a changing marketplace.

The foundation for sustainable medical devices is laid in the early stages of product development. Up to 80% of a product's environmental impact is determined in the design phase - and this is where Milani comes in. We help you design your medical devices sustainably from the start and develop practical, marketable solutions. Where once the reuse and recycling of medical devices was considered complex and costly, today it is entirely feasible. Milani can help you integrate sustainability considerations into product development early on and develop new service offerings and business models for the circular economy.
