PEZY for Health Tech & Care
Technology that suits people. And suits healthcare.
A device must be understandable to the user and fit into the environment in which it is used. PEZY develops physical care products where operation, technology, cleaning and manufacturability come together.
These companies rely on PEZY for product development in diverse markets.
Technology can do a lot. But does it work in healthcare?
The user is not always the designer.
A healthcare professional, patient and informal carer may use the same product in different ways. Which actions need to be clear for each of them?
The product must fit into the working day.
Placing, connecting, using and cleaning take time and attention. A design must suit the space and the working practices it will be used in.
An enclosure is more than protection.
Sensors, electronics, cabling and controls share limited space. How can technology, handholds and accessibility remain in balance?
Requirements need to be addressed early.
Intended use, risks and the required evidence influence the design. If these questions arise late, choices may have to be revisited.
A prototype is not a production product.
A hand-built unit may function while assembly and inspection are not yet fully defined. How will quality become repeatable?
Development requires coordination.
Users, technical teams and quality specialists look from different perspectives. Decisions must remain traceable for all those involved.
Start with the person and the context of use.
We make the step from care need to product concrete using observable actions, design criteria and targeted prototypes.
-
Make the intended use explicit.
Specify who uses the product, for what purpose and in which environment.
-
Investigate the critical actions.
Include operation, placement, handling and cleaning in the design.
-
Link requirements to design choices.
Make clear which requirement is addressed by which solution.
-
Test using appropriate prototypes.
For each question, choose a model that allows assessment of the relevant function or action.
-
Prepare the next phase carefully.
Include documentation, assembly and inspections as you move towards production.
Our expertise for Health Tech & Care
From care need to a well-considered physical product.
We combine user-centred design with mechanical engineering and production readiness. The product question determines which specialists join the project.
Use & ergonomics
We study the actions of patients, care professionals and other stakeholders. We translate those insights into the operation, form and placement of the product.
Enclosure & integration
We work out the physical cohesion between electronics, sensors and mechanics. We consider space, connections, handling and the requirements of the intended environment.
Requirements & substantiation
We help link design choices to the intended use and relevant product requirements. Together with the responsible specialists we determine which risks and documentation need attention.
Prototypes & demonstrators
Physical models help make a care concept discussable. We build specifically for the question you want to test, from ergonomic mock-ups to functional demonstrators.
Material & construction
We link material choices to the function of parts and the conditions during use. In this way fit, stiffness, surface and manufacturability are developed together.
Production preparation
A design must also be assembled and inspected. We incorporate production tasks early and use trial builds to develop the process further.
From problem to execution
A clear next step. At every stage of development.
Together we identify which uncertainties are determining progress. That lets us focus the work on what you need to know, make or test right now.
Working together on Health Tech & Care
Care, engineering and production at the same table.
The Product Lead maintains coherence between user research, product design, engineering and production preparation. This ensures that a change in one discipline can be aligned with the others in good time.
Your team stays in control. The Product Lead works alongside your own person in charge, connects the specialists and makes choices and follow‑up steps open for discussion.

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