Critical care our expertise

Our expertise

Critical care is a highly connected data rich environment with many opportunities for “intelligent assist” systems incorporating digital technologies to augment the capabilities of healthcare professionals and support the care process.​​

We bring a deep understanding of all of the enabling technologies along the signal chain from sensing to security and can help solve complex, multidisciplinary problems.

We apply this in the context of system engineering, workflow, human centred design and patient-device interaction.​​

Facilities and tools

Digital Operating Room

Digital operating room

Our Digital Operating Room is a unique innovation lab enabling clients and surgeons to collaborate with our R&D teams on transforming the future of surgery. This innovation space accelerates the development of digital surgery platforms, like next-generation surgical robots and visualization systems, as well as smart implants, and critical care systems. Clients use our Digital Operating Room for strategy and visioning workshops, human factors formative research, concept brainstorming, prototype development, and verification testing of complex digital surgery platforms.

Human Factors Lab

Human factors lab

Our Human Factors Workshop is a hub for user-centered design. Our team can meet a variety of client and project needs in this highly adaptable space, such as creating a comfortable home environment for a patient, hosting large client teams for observation of a simulated surgery or discussing strategic product visions with a panel of stakeholders. With this in-house capability, we conduct user research and obtain product feedback quickly and effectively, keeping users at the forefront of design.

Optics Lab

Optics labs

Our suite optics labs enable us to build complex and high-precision optical layouts, typically for testing prototype designs and novel techniques prior to deployment. Featuring six high-spec optical benches with configurable interlocked controlled areas for high-power (class 4) laser work and specialist facilities for interferometry, spectroscopy, low-noise fluorescence imaging and photon counting. This space can be split into separate laser-controlled areas, allowing multiple experiments to run simultaneously, giving our optical engineers the capability to develop creative solutions without instrumentation restrictions.
