Once again a Bang & Olufsen Medicom design has been internationally recognised

This time in the Red Dot design award 2008. Helping Hand Data Capture is an innovative electronic tablet reminder device that aims at improving patient compliance.

The product has obtained the exclusive title “best of the best 2008”, which signifies that it is rated as the best medical product design among the 3,302 designs in the product design category.

During the past years, B&O Medicom has won several design awards for its industrial design. Read more about the design prizes here. 

 
Recently finished comparative performance tests prove that Asmair® can readily be integrated into a pharmaceutical product and replace an existing standard actuator without having to conduct a full clinical program. Thus Asmair® is a quick and safe route to market.

Additionally, an award winning industrial design, recently awarded GOOD DESIGN 2007, makes the device appealing to the user and allows differentiating your brand on the market.

For enquiries on the tests, please contact Jan Andersson, Senior Business Development Manager, at tel.: +45 42 12 59 11 or ans@medicomnordic.com  

 
We are looking forward to exhibiting at the Respiratory Drug Delivery (RDD) conference on May 12-13 at the Westin Kierland Resort in Arizona, US.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at our stand at the technology exhibition. If a meeting is appropriate, please contact Jan Andersson, Senior Business Development Manager, at tel.: +45 42 12 59 11 or ans@medicomnordic.com
