Consumer product development: tooth brushes, biopsy tools, insulin injector pens Development of iontophoretic patches New biomaterials Responsive gels for improved patient support
Foster-Miller serves the pharmaceutical and chemical industries with laboratory automation design services driven by integrated and comprehensive mechanical, electrical and software system development skills. While we begin with a thorough analysis of existing technologies in an effort to provide off-the-shelf solutions, our proven track record in engineering services complements our effort to provide innovative "systems" that meet the entire suite of requirements driving the design. We meet the needs of our customers with services that encompass all levels of systems, from stand-alone work cells to fully integrated enterprise solutions. When customer market applications require software, we use state-of-the-art technologies and follow a well-established SDLC. Our medical device and diagnostic instrument clients demand fresh ideas, speed to market and a history of success. We combine these ideas with practical innovation and top technical talent to develop world-class products. Intellectual property developed for a client is transferred to the client and helps build strong, competitive positions. We form an integrated project team with our clients to use our strengths to greatly enhance product development and speed to market. Typically, we begin with user research that defines the market requirements and provides the basis for the technical requirements. We are experienced in both the development of medical products and design, build and installation of manufacturing systems. Because we are an independent engineering firm and not a contract manufacturer, we design products for the most appropriate manufacturing process from the beginning of the project, thus minimizing manufacturing development time and cost. We also offer business development services that include technology forecasting, technical due diligence and technology assessment. Foster-Miller designs and develops a range of biomedical systems and equipment to address cutting edge issues facing the medical community. With clinical partners that include the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF) and Tufts University, Foster-Miller has developed and tested advanced biomedical systems under grants from the National Institutes of Health and NASA. We take advantage of our experience in developing mechanical systems for DoD and commercial industry to engineer breakthrough concepts to meet biomedical needs.
