SECTORS & FOCUSED EXPERTISE

Contextual Inquiry / Human Factors

Translating user behavior into design requirements

HSD's Research and Human Factors expertise enables our designers and engineers to examine a manufacturer's capabilities in conjunction with the needs of the product's end user. We believe user research requires close collaboration with our clients because understanding a client's core competencies and manufacturing preferences is essential in order to accelerate the development process and reduce time to market.

 

Medical and Life Science Device Focus

Our designers have been in the OR, surgical suites, and central labs; as a result, they understand the sensitive
nature surrounding medical development.

Medical and Pharmaceutical packaging is where we started over 40 years ago. Working in this realm has given our company experience in understanding the proprietary and human issues surrounding medical product development. We understand documentation control, FDA requirements, delivery systems, patient compliance, and the increased risk testing needed for efficacy.
