human centered design.

By combining deep user insights with advanced usability engineering, journey mapping, and ergonomic design, we create products that are both intuitive and impactful. Our team specializes in translating complex user journeys into seamless experiences through conceptual design, rapid prototyping, and refined UI/UX design, ensuring each interaction feels natural and safe.

CAPABILITIES

  • user research 
  • usability engineering
  • human factors engineering
  • conceptual industrial design 
  • user experience (UX) design
  • look & feel design
  • user interface (UI) design

understanding user needs and early ideation.

Our human-centered design approach begins with user research and needs-finding, ensuring every idea aligns with real user requirements from the start. Our industrial designers visualize and co-create with you, translating abstract ideas into preliminary designs through collaborative, hands-on sessions. Through usability documentation and formative and summative evaluations, we structure the design process to ensure safety and compliance with MDR and IVDR standards following IEC 62366.

Immersive User Research to Shape User-Centered Designs

user research for real insights.

Designing impactful products requires firsthand insights into the actual environments in which they will be used. In our user research, we go beyond technical knowledge and involve end-users early on. For instance, when developing medical systems, we collaborate directly with healthcare professionals, from consulting medical experts to observing surgeons in operating rooms. These immersive experiences allow our team to understand how users interact with current systems, pinpoint usability gaps, and identify meaningful opportunities for improvement. Conceptual industrial design and morphological analysis lead to designs that are highly relevant and practical. Workflow analysis and wireframing follow, crafting intuitive, user-centered systems that are tailored to real-world demands.

Turning Ideas into Actionable Strategies

bringing user-centered concepts to life with seamless design.

Once a clear, user-centered concept is in place, we guide you through the next steps to bring it to life. Whether through brand language development, UI design, or graphic and animation design, we create a cohesive look that enhances the product's usability and appeal. With tools like rapid prototyping and virtual prototyping, we bring designs into focus, allowing you and the relevant use groups to interact with your product before it enters production. Through hands-on workshops, our team supports you in transforming early ideas into actionable strategies, ensuring that each phase is not only aligned with your goals but also grounded in practical, user-validated insights.

Bas Groenendaal.

"At Demcon, we start every project by deeply understanding user needs. As an industrial design engineer, I collaborate with clients from the earliest stages, using user research and journey mapping to shape concepts into practical, user-centered solutions. Through contextual inquiry, we immerse ourselves in the user's environment to gather real insights, ensuring our designs are both innovative and relevant. Bringing ideas to life with rapid prototypes to enable early concept resonance testing and usability evaluations, in order to create safe, usable products with a real-world impact."
