Trends: strong growth in end-user products in the wearables, fitness and sports sectors; increasing importance of design and unique functionality in professional medical applications
Promising product features: design language as support for brand identity, functional integration of the wishes of the patient, healthcare professional, and facility manager
People interested in maintaining and improving their health are increasingly using sports and fitness-related wearables for support. Consumers value design and unique functionality, while at the same time, we see the importance of design quality increasing in professional medical applications as well. We can crown the functional integration of the wishes of patients, healthcare professionals, and facility managers with a consistent design language that supports the brand identity. This leads to high-quality products that can be manufactured in-house.
