At System Insight Engineering, we are in the business of improving health outcomes for all. This includes designing medical devices for a wide range of patient populations so that we can better ensure the device will function as intended, no matter the end-users age or pre-existing conditions.    

Put simply: Understanding tissue variability leads to successful virtual testing of medical devices.   

Things like age, gender, hydration, disease, and scar tissue all play a role in tissue variability, not only between the patients but also within the patients. At System Insight Engineering, tissue variability can include virtual testing that first replicates animal tissue to ensure we have existing data to compare. From that baseline, we can easily change to human tissue of patients who are considered healthy or have pre-existing conditions. This gives our clients significant opportunities to study the safety and performance of their devices ahead of their competition and save them years of costly work to establish the needed clinical data. Data which in some cases may even be impossible to achieve.

Virtual testing is part of a necessary shift towards personalized medicine and when it comes to regulatory approval, this knowledge of key sensitive inputs will be the new expectation for the healthcare industry. 

Our mission, as engineers and innovators, is to virtually design, test, and validate medical devices using a patient-first approach so that no matter your grandmother or your grandniece, everyone has access to safe, effective treatments. 

As virtual testing is further incorporated into medical device development, you have the opportunity to get at the forefront of innovation by contacting System Insight Engineering today.

No matter the size of your business or legacy in the healthcare industry, every medical device manufacturer is facing the same dilemma: Doing more with less. 

Current economic pressures and global competition have created contrasting expectations in the healthcare industry. 

• Better devices in less time. 
• More personalized medicine with fewer resources. 
• Increased innovation on restrictive budgets. 

We’re here to combat those challenges early on to save you time, money, and headaches. 

At System Insight Engineering, we virtually design, test and validate medical devices so you can avoid the high expense of building and testing multiple prototypes. Using virtual testing through computer simulations, we predict the physical behavior of your device, which then allows us to understand the underlying physics that can be difficult, even impossible to measure in lab experimentation. 

Beyond cost savings and reduced development time, we bring more expertise to support your teams and improve device performance.

Whether you are a patient, provider, engineer, or industry leader – The quality of a medical device has a direct impact on your life. 

We are in an industry that’s at the forefront of technology, but oftentimes, being at the cutting-edge leaves ample room for unexpected and dangerous outcomes. From costly designs to time-consuming projects, these stressors not only harm your bottom line but can cause long-term fear or doubt in your product.

We believe in a solution that can narrow these risks and move our industry forward – Confidence. But where does it come from and what exactly does it look like? 

As explained by our Director of Simulation, Victor Kosmopoulos, PhD., confidence is being able to anticipate the exact outcome of a medical device through the use of virtual testing. 

“I believe confidence comes from knowing exactly how a medical device will perform, how it will function, and understanding its range and limits,” says Dr. Kosmopoulos. “With such insight, our customers save time and money by being better informed about their products, and patients benefit by increased safety and treatment effectiveness.”

It’s not enough to be confident in a single phase of development or manufacturing. Or to rely on the ‘how it’s always been’ method. We are in an industry about people. It’s our mission to continue advancing patient care by providing the insights, and the confidence, to bring safe and effective medical devices to market.

If you’d like to gain the insights that help you make an informed decision that gets your product to market faster and with a high degree of confidence, then connect with us today.
