We partner with a wide range of life sciences companies, including biotech startups, pharmaceutical firms, diagnostic device manufacturers, and medical technology innovators. Whether you’re developing lab equipment, wearable health monitors, or digital health platforms, we offer tailored design solutions to support your goals.

Our end-to-end services include life sciences product design, industrial design, user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design for medical devices, engineering and prototyping, usability testing, and design for manufacturability. We also offer branding and regulatory-ready documentation support.processes to enhance all of these metrics to improve the quality of medical devices whether we are designing them and developing them, or whether we are simply refining an existing design. At RKS design and engineering work synergistically, ensuring that design decisions are made in consideration of engineering constraints and vice-versa. This unique communication ability, driven by our in-house design and engineering capabilities. When it comes to medical devices we understand adherence and usability are key factors to success in receiving FDA approval and in the market. The RKS team has experience supporting and leading teams through formative and summative testing to evaluate, optimize, and enhance product offerings during the iterative design phases. Additionally, RKS has worked with teams to support clinical testing and validation of systems to prepare for approvals and market launch.

We integrate regulatory requirements from the outset. Our design and engineering teams are well-versed in FDA, ISO 13485, IEC 62366, and other industry standards, ensuring products are safe, effective, and compliant.

Yes. Our team has extensive experience designing for hospitals, labs, and point-of-care settings. We focus on workflow optimization, infection control, and intuitive usability to create medical devices and diagnostic tools that enhance both patient safety and healthcare provider efficiency.

Absolutely. We specialize in connected health device design, including Bluetooth-enabled sensors, mobile health apps, and cloud-integrated systems. Our UX team ensures seamless experiences across devices while complying with HIPAA and cybersecurity standards.

We apply human factors engineering throughout the product lifecycle, conducting user research, task analysis, formative usability testing, and validation studies. Our approach ensures life science devices are intuitive, safe, and ready for FDA human factors requirements.
