DYSIS Medical specializes in the design and development of imaging systems for non-invasive, in-vivo detection of cancerous and pre-cancerous lesions. The DYSIS Smart Colposcope is revolutionizing cervical cancer staging. It is a high-resolution digital colposcope with an adjunctive map. It differs from traditional colposcopes by measuring aceto-whitening automatically, providing an on-screen map to assist the clinician with diagnosis, biopsy, and treatment if needed.
With limited resources and a tight timescale, ITL was tasked with developing solutions in order to improve the ergonomics for the end-user and optimize the patient experience whilst controlling manufacturing costs.
Our R&D team began by interviewing end-users in hospitals across the country in order to define what improvements they felt were required. Following the initial market research, several concepts were developed and tested by nurses and clinicians. Having improved the ergonomics of the DYSIS colposcope, we were able to explore other opportunities for improvement.
Here’s how we supported the redesign of the DYSIS colposcope:
Based on the project’s success, ITL secured a full-scale manufacturing contract with DYSIS, starting with pilot production and supported by our in-house production engineers. DYSIS now has a dedicated work cell within our factory with custom jigs and CA testing procedures. In the future, DYSIS is likely to take advantage of our facility in Ashland, Virginia, US, in order to minimize turnaround times for maintenance of units sold to US-based end-users.
Whether you’re looking to develop an idea or concept into a commercially viable product, or you need help progressing one specific stage of your project, we can help.
