Creating reassuring experiences for eye and oral care
Designing for specialists and their patients
For all specialist equipment, it is vital that the device can perform its functions precisely and reliably, with ease, time after time. To achieve such designs requires thorough engineering development, which is a core expertise at DCA.
We appreciate that it is also important that patients believe and trust the equipment and are not unduly intimidated by their experiences with it.
For these reasons, we integrate design researchers and human factors specialists within our project teams, alongside the creative and technical engineers, to build an understanding of the range of factors that will influence the design to deliver solutions that specialists and their patients trust.
We are very experienced at balancing the many factors needed to support our clients in making the design decisions needed to achieve successful products.
Oral and eye care at home
Oral hygiene and eye care is a personal matter for all of us and we use a variety of products to help us with this. Increasingly individuals are seeking better ways to achieve their personal care that fits well with their busy daily lives. There are also particular conditions that arise and require specific care and that can impact personal routines.
Gaining a deep understanding and meaningful insights into the circumstances affecting how users carry out such personal care, what impacts it, and the results they seek, is important in developing solutions that deliver benefits that users will appreciate.
DCA has extensive experience in researching and taking such evidence-based considerations into account and developing commercially successful and award-winning solutions for healthcare products of many kinds.
