Discover how we worked with clients
Westlab worked closely and confidentially with a key client who were confronted with the need for a clinically accepted and diverse product which could act as a single solution to service the needs of all frontline healthcare workers.
An adaptable unit is a desirable product for any healthcare worker, and in order to service thousands of frontline workers with a comfortable and safe product, our client needed to engage with a reliable partner that was agile enough to meet stringent time restraints and had adequate production and customization capability.
Westlab Health’s in-house co-creation team partnered with the clientele in a series of interactive workshops to assess the wide range of problems experienced with previous products & suppliers. Using our agile product development process, we were able to quickly identify key needs.
Must-have features were identified on the product. Prototyping is an important part of the Westlab product development process, to ensure the product meets the design brief with surgical precision. This process also allowed the customer to handle and experience the product prior to commitment of securing bulk production.
By utilizing our agile co-creation process, Westlab Health were able to liaise with raw material providers in early phases in the project. This ensured that when the client was ready to commit, Westlab Health and its supply chain were already primed to move immediately and secure resource.
Westlab Health listened to the voices of clinicians and healthcare workers across the organisation to develop a face shield which was fit for purpose. Through its adjustability and meeting desired performance metrics the client was able to secure bulk quantities of a custom-made product, ultimately improving the safety and comfort of Victorians.
