Are accessory projects consuming your team’s bandwidth leading to inefficiency and higher development costs? Or is a standalone development project outside your team’s field of expertise causing delays to product launches? That’s what a Nortech client was experiencing when developing a new system for patient monitoring in a hospital setting. Here’s how we helped one of our clients create a medical technology for patient monitoring and safety without delays.
Innovation for Medical Technology
Our client is a leading global medical technology company. They were in the process of developing an innovative patient monitoring system that would improve safety. This state-of-the-art system allows medical professionals to monitor their patient’s vitals using compact wearable devices. By doing so, patients gain the freedom to move around instead of being confined to a bed due to larger, more invasive monitoring systems. Recognizing the need for an accessory to this system, our client approached us.
The purpose of this accessory was to notify medical staff when a patient’s vital signs approached a critical threshold. An alarm box would use audible and visual cues to alert the nurse’s stations of any critical changes in the patient’s condition. Our client’s team primarily consisted of software specialists, with limited experience in hardware development.
In-house development of this accessory would have required substantial team resources that our client couldn’t spare. Added complexity and reduced efficiency would have led to substantial and costly setbacks further delaying time to market. They quickly realized they needed a strategic partner who could offer them a full-service solution.

We ensured every step was carefully carried out delivering exceptional results in efficient time frames for our client. Throughout the entire journey, we maintained a strict commitment to regulatory compliance. These efforts ensured our client received an accessory that adhered to the highest standards of quality and safety. As a result, our team successfully developed and manufactured a complementary alarm box device. This new medical device seamlessly integrated into their existing monitoring system.
Mitigating the Risks of Medical Device Development
In offloading the accessory development project to us, our client reaped substantial benefits. They were able to focus their resources on their core competencies. By doing this, they significantly accelerated the timeline of their primary patient monitoring system’s development.
Our experience in new product development and efficiency in execution allowed us to deliver the accessory in record time. Overall, our partnership further aided their rapid go-to-market strategy. Our client was also able to sidestep the complexities of logistics and manufacturing challenges. These are commonly associated pain points with the deployment of medical technology.
By leveraging our fully managed solution, they mitigated the risk and stress of handling these processes in-house. Ultimately, it ensured a seamless integration of the alarm box accessory into their patient monitoring system. This collaboration not only led to a successful project completion but also forged a robust partnership built on trust, efficiency and shared success. Now, this new medical technology for patient monitoring and safety will become the standard for patient care.
Our collaboration on this project demonstrates our ability to deliver exceptional results and showcases our commitment to fostering long-lasting partnerships. We take pride in our role as a catalyst for innovation and look forward to embarking on future ventures that will shape the landscape of healthcare technology.
