PEZY for Health Tech & Care
Technology that fits people—and healthcare.
A care product must be understandable to the user and fit the environment in which it is used. PEZY develops physical healthcare products that bring together operation, technology, cleaning and manufacturability.
These companies rely on PEZY for product development across a range of markets.
Technology can do a great deal. But does it work in healthcare?
The user is not always the designer.
A healthcare professional, patient and informal caregiver may use the same product differently. Which actions must be clear to each of them?
The product must fit the working day.
Positioning, connecting, using and cleaning require time and attention. A design must suit the space and workflow in which it will be used.
An enclosure is more than protection.
Sensors, electronics, cabling and controls share limited space. How can technology, grip and accessibility remain balanced?
Requirements must be addressed early.
Intended use, risks and the required evidence influence the design. If these questions arise too late, decisions may need to be revisited.
A prototype is not yet a series product.
A hand-built unit may work while assembly and inspection are not yet sufficiently defined. How can quality be made repeatable?
Development requires coordination.
Users, technical teams and quality specialists bring different perspectives. Decisions must remain traceable for everyone involved.
Start with people and the use environment.
We make the transition from care need to product concrete through observable actions, design criteria and targeted prototypes.
-
Define the intended use explicitly.
Document who uses the product, for what purpose and in which environment.
-
Investigate the critical actions.
Include operation, positioning, handling and cleaning in the design.
-
Connect requirements to design decisions.
Make clear which solution addresses each requirement.
-
Test with appropriate prototypes.
For each question, choose a model that allows the relevant function or action to be assessed.
-
Prepare the next phase carefully.
Include documentation, assembly and inspections on the path to production.
Our expertise for Health Tech & Care
From a care need to a well-considered physical product.
We connect user-centred design with mechanical engineering and production preparation. The product challenge determines which specialists are involved.
Use & ergonomics
We investigate the actions of patients, healthcare professionals and other stakeholders. We translate those insights into the product’s controls, form and placement.
Enclosure & integration
We develop the physical integration of electronics, sensors and mechanics. We consider space, connections, handling and the requirements of the use environment.
Requirements & evidence
We help connect design decisions to the intended use and relevant product requirements. Together with the responsible specialists, we determine which risks and documentation require attention.
Prototypes & demonstrators
Physical models help make a care concept tangible and discussable. We build specifically for the question to be tested, from an ergonomic model to a functional demonstrator.
Materials & construction
We connect material choices to component functions and conditions of use. This allows fit, rigidity, surface and manufacturability to be developed as a coherent whole.
Production preparation
A design must also be capable of assembly and inspection. We consider production operations early and use trial builds to develop the process further.
From challenge to execution
A clear next step. In every development phase.
Together, we determine which uncertainties govern progress. This focuses the work on what you need to know, make or test now.
Working together on Health Tech & Care
Healthcare, technology and production at the same table.
The Product Lead maintains coherence between user research, product design, engineering and production preparation. This allows a change in one discipline to be coordinated with the other stakeholders in good time.
Your team remains in control. The Product Lead works alongside your own responsible lead, connects the specialists, and makes decisions and next steps open for discussion.
Neolook One: making healthcare technology tangible
Interviews, observations and iterative prototypes helped PEZY translate the needs of healthcare professionals and parents into functional demonstrators.

Why PEZY?
A good product requires people who look beyond the boundaries of their discipline. At PEZY, we connect design, engineering and production. Our Pilot Factory in Groningen makes the step to physical models, trial tooling and small batches tangible.
3 locations
Design, engineering and production under one roof.
Pilot Factory
From the first model to small-batch production, all in-house.
30+ years
Product innovation since 1995.
Great Place to Work
Recognised based on feedback from our employees.
Which healthcare need do you want to make tangible?
A new care product, a complex enclosure or a prototype that needs further development? We discuss the user, the technical challenge and the next development step.
