A mobile tele-radiology console for remote clinics

A mobile console that brings diagnostic imaging to clinics with no radiology department. We designed it, engineered it, and prototyped it.

The challenge

Taking imaging to clinics that do not have a radiology department means a device that is mobile, tough, and usable by staff who are not specialists, without it looking like a toy.

Our approach

We built the console around how a remote clinic actually works. A compact wheeled workstation holding the optics, the electronics, and the operator’s screen. The industrial design, the mechanical packaging, and the electromechanical side all came together at once.

We built a run of working prototypes so we could sort out the ergonomics and the layout on the real thing, not on a render.

The outcome

A self-contained console that has been built, tested, and refined over several rounds, and is ready to go out into the field. Diagnostic kit packed into something a clinic can wheel in and switch on.

FAQ

Questions, answered

The things teams usually ask before they start.

Can we hire you for just one part of a project?

Yes. Take a single discipline - say industrial design or simulation - or hand over the whole product from concept to production. We work both ways.

Do you work with startups or only established companies?

Both. We have taken first-time founders to investor- and regulator-ready devices, and helped OEMs and product teams ship new lines.

Can you take a product all the way to manufacturing?

Yes. We handle design for manufacturing, vendor identification and audits, and pilot runs into volume production.

Where are you based, and do you work remotely?

We are in Bengaluru with the whole team in one place, and we work with clients across India and abroad.

How do projects usually start?

With a short conversation about where you are. A sketch, a spec, or a rough prototype is more than enough to begin.

Have a product in mind? Tell us where you are. A sketch, a spec, or a prototype that is not quite working. We will tell you how we would take it forward.
