CovSense - Portable Analyzer
Rapid Prototyping on Medical Industry
VANGEST prototyped and manufactured a small series production for the CovSense portable biochemical analyzer which is a Covid-19 innovation project for the Portuguese market, developed in a partnership between 3DTECH, CARBUS, FC.ID, Farm.ID and INSA. This portable device allows to increase the testing process, since it can be used anywhere and thus prevents new cases of infection, decreases hospitalizations and improves resource management.
Design
After researching trends, concepts and ideations were presented in design with solutions considering user experience, its function and context of use, and all functionalities of the equipment itself.

Rapid Prototyping

Small Series Production
More than ever, with increasing demand in the medical field, new devices are being developed. Prototyping is a crucial step in the development of a new product, not only for reducing costs throughout the development process, but also for anticipating problems that would otherwise only be detected in the production phase. With a working prototype, it is also possible to ensure in a timely manner that devices are aligned with medical compliance.
