In the drug delivery sector, time really is money. Every day spent developing a drug delivery system increases development costs and reduces the window between bringing a profitable drug to market and its patent expiring. Energy models are a tool which allow for the most critical elements of a root cause investigation to be targeted, potentially saving weeks on identifying and solving issues. Energy models can also be used to predict the performance of a device, and how this is impacted by…

User experience (UX) design has become a critical element in shaping how people interact with devices. Beyond creating aesthetically pleasing interfaces, UX design has the potential to be a powerful force for social good. By focusing on inclusivity, accessibility, and user-centric principles, designers can contribute to positive social impact and create products that address societal challenges.

For decades the portable inhaler market has been dominated by two categories of inhaler: pressurised Metered-Dose inhalers (pMDIs) and Dry-Powder inhalers (DPIs). In recent years, other categories have emerged such as Soft Mist Inhalers (SMIs).

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) has the potential to revolutionise medical devices, and develop solutions that can scale and increase efficiency in medical care.1 However, how can we keep up with and control the rapid post market learning of these algorithms to ensure that the quality and safety of these devices are not compromised and can be regularly monitored?

For companies that develop innovative products, selecting the right technology can be an intimidating prospect. One choice could lead to a smooth development process that culminates in a successful launch; and another could take you down an arduous road with unpleasant surprises at any stage of development, potentially causing delays, expensive rework or a complete loss of investment.

Biologic drugs have revolutionised the field of medicine by offering innovative treatment options for various chronic and life-threatening diseases. Unlike traditional chemical-based drugs, biologics are made from living organisms. They have proven to be effective in treating conditions like cancer, autoimmune disorders, and central nervous system disorders. However, their unique nature makes them susceptible to various factors that can compromise their efficacy and make them tricky to handle.…

Paediatricians have been known to say, “a child is not a small adult!”. Why do they say this, and what does it mean for developing therapies and drug delivery devices?

Industrial design drives innovation and builds business success. It’s not just about making things look good, but also about making user-friendly competitive products.

In the world of medical technology, innovation plays a vital role in improving patient care and transforming healthcare practices. Building a prototype of a medical device is a crucial step in the development process, allowing developers to test their ideas, refine designs, and gather valuable feedback.

In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) play a crucial role in the continuing improvement of healthcare outcomes. Here we list some of the ways in which innovation in IVDs can make a significant impact to people’s health:
