Companies Join Forces to Strengthen the MedTech Product Development Lifecycle with Seamless Hardware and Software Integration for Diagnostic and Wearable Medical Devices
Westford, Massachusetts, November 13, 2020 – MedAcuity, the go-to Boston-based software development partner for leading MedTech companies, has announced a strategic partnership with Loft, a holistic user experience and product design studio. This collaboration aims to develop an Experiential Ecosystem for select client engagements, supporting the full MedTech product development lifecycle—from concept to commercialization. The partnership will emphasize user experience and human factors design, initially focusing on diagnostics technology and wearables, with the potential to expand into other medical technology segments in the future.
Under the terms of the partnership, Loft will apply its design and engineering expertise, focusing on project components such as human factors development, UX development, and mechanical and electrical engineering. Simultaneously, MedAcuity will contribute its extensive expertise in the full MedTech product development lifecycle, applying its deep knowledge of the software development lifecycle to design and engineer secure, usable medical device software for both healthcare professionals and patients.
MedAcuity, with over a decade of experience delivering software solutions to address clients’ most critical challenges in medical device development, brings capabilities in firmware and embedded systems development, mobile application development, cloud technologies, and compliance-driven regulated environments. Known for its comprehensive approach, MedAcuity’s contribution to the MedTech product development lifecycle ensures the creation of highly secure, reliable, and efficient software solutions.
Loft, a leading design firm in the health tech space with over 30 years of experience, will bring its expertise in human factors design and user experience to the partnership. Loft’s deep understanding of FDA compliance and its proven track record in bringing technologies to life complements MedAcuity’s software development expertise, creating a powerful synergy that enhances the full MedTech product development lifecycle.
“We’re excited for this partnership, which will allow MedAcuity to deliver value to our clients earlier in the product development lifecycle,” said Andy D’Amore, senior vice president of business development, MedAcuity Software. “The complementary skill sets of Loft and MedAcuity will allow us both to maximize what we bring to an engagement, supporting clients’ needs from inception through to product launch.”
“Together with MedAcuity, we’ll have a larger spectrum of capabilities to help with all of the engineering and product development challenges that today’s MedTech companies face, coupled with full expertise in software development,” said Gregor Mittersinker, cofounder of Loft. “The sum of our collective capabilities will be greater than working with hardware and software development partners separately, and we look forward to maximizing innovation for our shared clients.”
