We offer world-class test­ing envi­ron­ments and the sup­port of health­care pro­fes­sion­als – from pilot­ing an idea all the way to offi­cial val­i­da­tion. With us, your solu­tion gets the fastest route from lab­o­ra­to­ries to real-world care and on to inter­na­tion­al mar­kets.

Our Test­ing Ser­vices

With us, you can test your prod­ucts and ser­vices where they are actu­al­ly used – in hos­pi­tals, health cen­tres, and people’s homes. Test­ing involves real end users: cus­tomers, patients, stu­dents, and expe­ri­enced social and health­care pro­fes­sion­als.

You receive valu­able feed­back already at the ear­ly stages of devel­op­ment. By refin­ing usabil­i­ty and impact based on gen­uine user expe­ri­ence, you save time and ensure your solution’s mar­ket readi­ness more quick­ly.

from ideas to test­ing

Process

Apply by fill­ing out the appli­ca­tion form. Describe as clear­ly as pos­si­ble what kind of sup­port you need and what you would like to test. We will help you find the right experts and the most suit­able envi­ron­ment.

We review new appli­ca­tions every two weeks. Each pro­pos­al is care­ful­ly eval­u­at­ed, and we will con­tact you regard­ing the next steps. Below you can see how the jour­ney from idea to prac­ti­cal test­ing pro­gress­es.

Describe Your Needs

Every­thing starts eas­i­ly: fill out a short appli­ca­tion form. Tell us about your idea and what you would like to test.

approx 2 weeks

Prepa­ra­tions

Our team gath­ers every two weeks to review new ideas. We iden­ti­fy the right experts and the best pos­si­ble test­ing envi­ron­ment for your pro­pos­al – sav­ing you time by han­dling the prepa­ra­tions on your behalf.

approx 2 weeks
1–2 months

Kick-off Meet­ing

Once we have aligned our goals, we sit down togeth­er to plan the details. We agree on a clear sched­ule, bud­get, and test­ing plan, so you know exact­ly what will hap­pen and when.

1–2 months

Test, Learn, and Get Results

This is the most impor­tant phase: we put your solu­tion into the hands of real end users. We car­ry out pilots and user tri­als in the agreed envi­ron­ments. At the end of the test­ing, you will receive com­pre­hen­sive reports, valu­able user feed­back, and expert rec­om­men­da­tions for fur­ther devel­op­ment of your prod­uct.
