  • Our Approach

    When it comes to working with companies, our team has found that long-term collaboration in the field of medical technology design, industrial design and user interface design is particularly beneficial for both parties. This way, the conception of medical design can be repeatedly sharpened, evaluated and improved for the benefit of the long-term cooperation. This results in products that, on one hand, meet changing customer requirements and, on the other hand, are optimized for cost-efficient production. You especially benefit from economic scaling in the development of your industrial design, medical technology design or interface design. While production costs are often only slightly variable over a long period of time, costs for the conception and development of your products decrease over time, since a well-established cooperation only has to coordinate really new aspects.

  • Versatile Design

    A wide variety of areas and factors are important for our work in the field of medical technology design. We work on a holistic design approach to take into account the many significant aspects of medical design, and to combine them into a unique, innovative and memorable design. This approach makes all the difference in medical design, for example in the development of devices for medical technology and laboratory technology, but also in the development of user interfaces. For medical technology design projects our team mentally accompanies the product through its entire life cycle - from the user's point of view. Held+Team not only designs interfaces to be appealing, but when it comes to user interface design we always have the user and his expectations in mind. During the first use, but also during the hundredth or thousandth - this is how an attractive and easy-to-handle product is created in the end.

  • The Meaning of Design

    You shouldn't judge a book by its cover - and yet the first impression often dictates the buying behavior of end users and influences the decision-making of business partners - it's no different for medical technology design or industrial design. When designing the products, interfaces and packaging there are a few things to consider in the realm of medical technology, to make sure, the products end up with an attractive, contemporary and yet sustainable design.
