Stryker
Two decades and counting
For almost 25 years, we have partnered with Stryker to develop innovative, human-centered solutions to advance their reputation as a leading global medical technology company. From designing handheld medical devices to digital user interfaces to whole navigation systems, understanding the user and their environment is key to what we do.
Visual and sound design for digital interfaces
In today’s modern operating rooms, screen-controlled navigation is an essential tool for surgeons that requires a clear visual language. Together with Stryker engineers and programmers, we developed and implemented a Corporate Style Guide for knee navigation that included guidelines on the user interface and sound design. The clear visuals and quality of audio feedback set the foundation for other Stryker navigation systems and increased the industry standard.
Innovation in the operating room
Every surgical operation plan is personalized based on the patient’s needs and the needs of the medical team. We designed a Stryker Navigation System that allows maximum flexibility when positioning navigation elements in the room: a camera, two monitors, mobile computers and various interfaces. Additionally, we designed a modular cart that simplifies the setup for throat, nose, ears, hips, knees and back surgeries using available components. The success of this project brough Stryker Germany into the international spotlight and highlighted their strategic European location.
Ergonomics as a key to quality
The Quick Drive Mini is a battery-operated screwdriver used by surgeons for osteosynthesis, or fixation of a bone. With input from surgeons and Maxon, a Swiss motor manufacturer with an excellent global reputation, we designed a hand-operated, cordless tool for navigated, minimally invasive surgeries with ergonomics as the driving principle.
