What We Do

Battelle’s Human Centric Design (HCD) team brings together designers, cognitive psychologists, scientists and engineers to design medical devices and health products that focus on human needs, capabilities and uses in the real world.

Our diverse team designs and develops medical devices and products with human needs and capabilities in mind. We have unmatched resources across a broad range of scientific, engineering and technical disciplines. That gives us the ability to solve difficult problems and unique challenges beyond the reach of most contract research organizations.

We offer comprehensive human-centered design services across every stage of product development. No matter where you are in your design and development cycle, our team will act as a trusted collaborator to help you make your products more competitive and prepare for regulatory submission. Integrating HCD early in the discovery and design process will result in the greatest impact on "humanizing" your product.
