WESTFORD, Mass., Nov. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- MedAcuity, the go-to Boston-based software development partner for leading MedTech companies, today announced that it is partnering with Loft, a holistic user experience and product design studio, to develop an Experiential Ecosystem for select client engagements. Through this relationship, the two companies will be able to support the full product development lifecycle–from concept to commercialization–for MedTech companies and innovators with a special emphasis on user experience and human factors design. Initially, the relationship will focus on diagnostics technology and wearables, with the potential to expand the Experiential Ecosystem into other medical technology segments in the future.

Simultaneously, MedAcuity will apply its extensive expertise to the full software development lifecycle, designing and engineering medical device software that is safe, secure, and highly usable for medical professionals and patients.

MedAcuity has over a decade of experience delivering software solutions for clients' most critical application development challenges for all classes of medical devices. Its capabilities include firmware and embedded systems development; mobile, application and GUI development; cloud and enterprise technologies; software design and development methodologies for heavy compliance-driven regulated environments; and cybersecurity strategy.
