Inspiration to Innovation
Ideas are born out of inspiration, but to transform them into marketable products takes much more – multidisciplinary collaboration, streamlined processes and user research that test the core of an idea and launch innovative products. At MIMYK, we partner with our clients to navigate the complex and ever-changing landscape of medical device development. From strategizing the right approach for your project to preparing for manufacturing and launch, our highly collaborative, multidisciplinary team tailors its services to meet your unique needs. Our design-led, user-centered approach transforms your vision into user-friendly devices while greatly reducing risk.
How our process works.
We study the landscape of your potential product to appreciate the finer nuances of your idea and discover existing need gaps in the market, user anxieties and issues, identify probable risks then marry them to your business and project needs. We gather insights from various categories of users and stakeholders to help formulate an innovation strategy to suit your needs. In situations that require blue sky thinking, we lean on collaborative techniques to identify solutions that may not currently exist.
Innovation is a journey which is meticulously iterative. For clients who are still in their early stages of development, managing uncertainty can be cumbersome. With our knowledge and experience in project managing iterative processes, we can help you focus on critical milestones, identify from a spectrum of technology stack options, narrow in on solutions based on cost targets, chart out mitigation processes for risks identified so that your journey to innovation is effective and structured.
User centered design is central to our approach to medical device development, and user research is one of the key cornerstones of any design project we undertake. Our multidisciplinary team combines years of experience in Industrial Design, Mechanical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Software Development and Optics to create integrated systems, carefully considering each aspect of imagining and building a product. With our approach, our divergent disciplines ensure we bring fresh perspective to any problem but converge on the needs of the end user.
We iterate and refine our design solutions by subjecting them to cycles of prototyping and rigorous testing. We test concepts and prototypes early and often, to anticipate issues and resolve them before resources are committed to develop your final product. Designs that meet quality and performance standards are assembled to build fully integrated systems that operate seamlessly.
Our quality management processes set effective controls over the medical device development process and maintain documentation required for the smooth navigation of the regulatory processes.
We approach all aspects of the development process meticulously, including our focus on materials, manufacturing methods and assembly processes. We optimize with DFMA throughout our development process and roll out prototypes reflective of the finished systems. We help with short run production of beta prototypes for pre-clinical and pre market studies. Our design transfer ensures a smooth transition to manufacturing, with a partner of your choice or from our network of trusted service providers.
