Changing sales model and become tech-oriented – Before Novo Nordisk (PDS316) Insulin Pen Healthcare Product Development

Novo Nordisk is the world’s leading biopharmaceutical company. It is a world leader in the development and production of insulin for the treatment of diabetes. The customer wanted to adjust the sales model by changing the paid purchase of insulin pens to free access. This marketing method places great demand on the iteration and upgrade of the insulin pen to maintain its leading position in technology. In addition, Novo wants the saving of the overall cost to complete the adjustment of the sales model and promote insulin sales.

Healthcare Product Development From Design To Manufacturing By LKKER SCM 

LKKER SCM performed an explosive design decomposition analysis of Novo Nordisk’s two generations of insulin pens – Novo3 and Novo4. In terms of user operation, we designed in detailed recording and operation section analysis of the whole operation from the opening of the package to the capping of the pen after completing the injection. We redefined the Novo Nordisk’s insulin pens from the design of the product details on how to continue the iterative gene to the upgrade of patient experience.


Highlight Features of The Finished Novo Nordisk (PDS316) Insulin Pen

1. Inherit product genes – Novo Nordisk secures a leading position in product technology development and production and thus is quite demanding on the continuity of its brand. It requires not only the iteration and upgrade of the product but also the continuity of the previous generation product genes in terms of the overall appearance of the insulin pen. With little to change (the continuity of the outer contour arc, the design element reminder on how to use and open, and the rotary calibration cap), LKKER SCM conducted upgrade of all other parts and redesigned the dial to jut out 1mm to prevent slipping when placing the pens, which were highly praised by Novo Nordisk.

2. Operated the section every five seconds to deliver the most detailed use study. Conducted operation process comparison and analysis of Novo3 and Novo4 and performed section shooting, disassembly and detail analysis every five seconds to simplify the use, optimize the shape, and reduce the irritability or fear of the patient during use.


Outstand In Bidding And Help Novo Reach The Goal

The design project of the Novo Nordisk insulin pen was bidding globally and proposed in Denmark. LKKER SCM defeated a number of international rivals including FROG and B&O and won the customer’s recognition. We iteratively upgraded the insulin pen while inheriting the system gene, simplified the way of use, improved the human-machine experience, maximized the brand effect of the healthcare product and achieved the goal of changing the sales model.

GE Healthcare X-ray Digital Imaging Chest Rack

Work Efficiency & Comfort Pain Points – Before GE Healthcare X-ray Digital Imaging Chest Rack Product Development

As the most common medical device, X-ray digital imaging chest radiography accurately takes pictures of different injured parts of patients. This is to help the doctors make the correct diagnosis. The key to supporting the normal operation of the X-ray digital imaging chest radiography and meeting the requirements from different angles is the design of the equipment rack. It should allow the equipment to be adjusted to the required angle by the doctor according to the standing, sitting, and lying postures, and injured parts such as arm injuries, leg injuries and joint injuries of the patients. It is designed to improve the doctor’s work efficiency while maximizing patient comfort. However, a set of equipment that meets all the x-ray needs is challenging.

GE Healthcare X-ray Digital Imaging Chest Rack Product Design By LKKER SCM

As one of the world’s leading providers of medical products, GE is committed to solving universal problems. LKKER SCM and GE had jointly conducted an in-depth research on the design optimization of the X-ray digital imaging chest rack and came up with an innovative design solution that is the most user-friendly and meets the needs of GE products.

Highlight Features of GE Healthcare X-ray Digital Imaging Chest Rack

1.Generally, three ways of operation should be available for the doctors, one is a remote control, the other is machine button control, and the third is to quickly lift and stretch through the machine handle. When making an x-ray photograph for patients, the doctor may need to adjust the device repeatedly to achieve a photographic angle. Therefore, the very complicated adjustment requirements are one of the biggest challenges in this design.

2.LKKER SCM starts from the convenience of the doctor’s use and combines the product performance to deliver a reversible geometry design. It simplifies the operation of the doctor and improves work efficiency.

3.It allows horizontal axis tilt mode, bed mode, and low mode. The doctor can perform basic operations by screen, handle, and manual operation.

4.Meanwhile, it allows multi-angle rotation including vertical axis rotation, horizontal rotation via the button at the bottom, and horizontal flip. The inward design of the control knob allows easy push of the knob and provides a comfortable experience when the detector moves up and down.

5. In terms of the display screen design, the screen displays readable information, which can not only ease the tension of the patient but also improve the efficiency of the doctor. The rigorous estimation ensures that the information is displayed at eye level.

User Experience Improved And Support Better Medical Operations

LKKER SCM team has helped GE implement and validate new ways to use vertical structures. The fly-by-wire system introduced by LKKER SCM not only reduces transmission chaos, enhances the user experience, but also subverts the operational design. Now, the information statistics is displayed at more appropriate height and the readings are easier. Moreover, it also marks a more established GE who is ready for a new era of humanization of medical equipment.
