...together from the start
We transform product development challenges into market successes through integration of Human Factors, Design, and Engineering in a process tailored to the medical/life sciences device industry and other regulated fields.
Our approach to the user driven development process begins with the human factor: understanding the motivations and nuances of the users. We analyze their interactions, mitigations, and environmental factors by conducting Contextual Inquiries, and revealing critical insights often missed by other methods.
This exploratory research informs our design process to save on development costs and expedite successful project completion. It also feeds into design and risk documentation for a smoother regulatory approval path.
We do not compartmentalize our development teams into walled-off silos. Our team members are experienced across all disciplines and collaborate actively to form a holistic understanding of the users, use environments and their demands. This team synergy informs aligned design targets and an empathetic view of the user.
The result is an accelerated and comprehensive design system, requiring fewer concept iterations that lead to stronger user satisfaction and product marketability.
Arterex excels in engineering and manufacturing a wide variety of medical products including complex systems, single-use, and active implantables. Their strong track record of providing full-services contract manufacturing for OEMs compliments Stratus’s design and human factors expertise. Our alliance allows both companies to work closely together to provide an idea-to-product pipeline for our clients.
