Strategy

A good product starts with collaboration. Efficiency, understanding, and effectiveness are essential to support the needs of NIH scientists. Our strategy has proven to be effective after all these years, and we are continuously contributing to the NIH mission.

A flow chart showing consulting leading to technology research, leading to resources allocation, leading to design and fabrication, leading to test and then delivery.
  1. Consulting
    Collaborating to discuss and understand project requirements, challenges, and goals. This phase sets the foundation for customized solutions tailored to specific research or biomedical needs.
  2. Technology research
    Exploring cutting-edge technologies, materials, and methodologies to ensure the best approach for design and implementation. This step helps identify innovative solutions and validate feasibility.
  3. Resources allocation
    Strategic planning and distribution of manpower, materials, and budget to optimize efficiency. This ensures that the necessary tools and expertise are available at each stage of development.
  4. Design and fabrication
    Combining mechanical, electrical, and software engineering to create customized biocompatible devices. Fabrication includes 3D printing, machining, assembly, and wiring harness integration to ensure precision and functionality.
  5. Testing
    Verifying the performance, reliability, and safety of the developed solution through rigorous testing. This step ensures compliance with research standards and functionality under real-world conditions.
  6. Delivery
    Integrating and developing the finished product. This includes installation, training, and ongoing support to ensure successful implementation in clinical trials, research, or patient care applications.
