User-centered design with measurable impact

Medical Design That Drives Success

At Milani, we go beyond designing medical and healthcare products—we create solutions that inspire trust, optimize workflows, and elevate patient care. With over 60 years of experience in this highly regulated industry—from neonatology and surgery to diagnostics and home care—we help you navigate complex usability challenges, meet stringent regulatory requirements, and develop intuitive, award-winning products that set new benchmarks in medical technology.

From Medical Product Design and UX/UI to Ecodesign, our integrated design approach accelerates your development process and ensures that your medical devices not only meet the highest standards, but truly stand out.

Intuitive, Safe & Award-Winning Medical Design

At Milani, we combine a deep understanding of the strict regulatory requirements and high hygiene and safety standards of medical technology with a clear focus on usability and ergonomic design. Whether in hospitals, laboratories or home care, ergonomic requirements are more demanding than ever. Our experience shows: In addition to technical precision and functionality, the emotional dimension is crucial to creating medical products that impress. The complexity of these requirements offers a unique opportunity for differentiation.

With our creative approach and decades of experience, we have developed numerous award-winning design solutions that perfectly combine safety, usability and aesthetics - all within your budget and production constraints. We provide not only outstanding physical product design, but also customized, intuitive UX/UI design solutions that enhance the user experience. In this way, we ensure that your product is user-centric and stands out in the market.

Our user-centered design approach for accelerated medical product development

Our human-centered design approach ensures that every aspect of your product is developed with users in mind. From the start, we analyze requirements and integrate stakeholder needs through interviews, studies, and hands-on testing—enhancing usability and strengthening your market position.

Through iterative prototyping and collaboration with healthcare professionals and patients, we validate concepts early, reducing risk and accelerating time-to-market by up to 30%.

At the same time, we design with MDR and FDA compliance in mind while proactively addressing sustainability regulations to streamline approvals.

Beyond product design, we create user-centric services—intuitive training tools, improved maintenance solutions, and patient-focused services. With Milani as your partner, you can transform complex medical technology into intuitive, future-ready solutions that set new industry standards.

Sustainability in MedTech: Leveraging Competitive Advantages and Minimizing Risks

With growing EU regulations, integrating sustainability into product development is becoming essential—especially in medical technology, where long development cycles make early action crucial. New rules like the ESPR, EU Plastics Levy, and Battery Regulation are just the beginning, while hospitals face strict environmental targets and investors demand ESG compliance. Even if your company isn’t directly affected yet, proactive sustainability integration reduces future risks and creates a competitive edge.

Up to 80% of a product’s environmental impact is determined in the design phase—this is where Milani comes in. We help you develop sustainable, market-ready medical devices from the start. Once seen as costly, reuse and recycling are now feasible. With our expertise, you can integrate sustainability early, optimize product lifecycles, and explore new service models for the circular economy.
