The company and product

Transforming gynecological protocols through women-led design innovation and patient-centered healthcare technology.

Matrix Health & Care aimed to revolutionize women's healthcare by eliminating invasive gynecological instruments through innovative design. Their patented gynecological suite of products focused on transforming the patient experience by placing physiological understanding of the female body at the forefront of design and manufacture.

Through their flagship pelvic assessment and diagnosis device for self-use, Matrix aimed to disrupt the status quo in gynecological care, making examinations more comfortable and accessible for patients while maintaining clinical accuracy for healthcare providers.

Key challenges

Simultaneously developing three critical components: hardware prototype, mobile application, and user interface designs.

Meeting stringent technical requirements for a medical diagnostic device while ensuring user-friendly self-use capabilities.

Building a comprehensive ecosystem architecture connecting various devices and features on one digital platform.

The Process

From healthcare innovation concept to development-ready solution.

Matrix approached us with the vision for a solution combining proprietary hardware and a mobile application to enable gynecological examinations at home. They needed a technical partner who could navigate the complex requirements of medical device development while maintaining their patient-centered design philosophy.

The project required expertise in both hardware connectivity and mobile application development, as well as understanding the unique challenges of creating medical diagnostic tools that serve multiple user types within the healthcare ecosystem.

This is how we made it happen:

Equal focus on both patient needs and medical professional requirements to ensure broad market adoption.
Phased product development approach with incremental value delivery adapted to evolving business needs.
Comprehensive user journey mapping for four distinct user types within the healthcare ecosystem.

The Outcome

Development-ready prototypes of hardware and mobile application.

We balanced the complex needs of patients, healthcare providers, clinicians, and the broader medical community. This required creating solutions that were both technically sophisticated for medical accuracy and intuitively designed for patient self-use.

Our development process included creating hardware connectivity prototypes, designing user experiences for multiple stakeholder groups, and establishing a clear product development roadmap. We also supported Matrix in preparing investor materials and pitch presentations to secure future funding.

The success of this project hinged on the following factors:

Understanding Matrix's revolutionary vision for transforming gynecological care through women-led design innovation.
Comprehensive development approach addressing hardware, software, and user experience requirements simultaneously.
Healthcare expertise enabling navigation of medical device development complexities while maintaining patient-centered focus.
