Specialization:

MEDICA & PERSONAL CARE DEVELOPMENT

We design and engineer personal care products where performance, ergonomics, safety, and daily usability are critical.

Personal care devices operate in close contact with the human body. They must be safe, reliable, intuitive, and pleasant to use, often in wet environments and under strict regulatory constraints.

These products demand careful integration of mechanics, electronics, materials, and user experience.

Relevant Experience

We have developed personal care products including:

– Electric toothbrushes
– Shavers and clippers
– Hair dryers and styling tools
– Massage devices
– Breast pumps

These products require a high level of refinement in ergonomics, vibration control, acoustics, waterproofing, and user interaction.

What Makes Personal Care Products Complex

Personal care devices combine technical complexity with high user sensitivity.

Typical challenges include:

– Safe operation close to skin and hair
– Balancing performance with comfort
– Managing vibration, noise, and heat
– Waterproofing and hygiene
– Meeting medical or consumer safety regulations

Small design choices can significantly impact user trust and acceptance.

Our Approach

We develop personal care products from a user-centric, system-level perspective. Mechanical design, electronics, materials, ergonomics, and production constraints are considered together from the start.

By validating early and iterating quickly, we ensure that comfort, safety, and performance are aligned.

How We Support Personal Care Projects

Depending on project maturity, we support development through:

 Strategy & Innovation
 Feasibility Studies
 Industrial Design
 Full Product Development
 R&D Support within existing teams

Each engagement is adapted to the specific use case and regulatory context.

Result

The result is a personal care product that feels refined, performs reliably, meets safety standards, and is ready for production.
