Wearables & Connected Health

Integrated digital solutions like wearable devices, disposable patches, ingestible sensors, and implanted sensors are bringing healthcare outside of hospitals and doctors’ offices into the hands of patients. Achilles helps partners to evaluate new technologies and create integrated digital ecosystems that enhance patient experience, improve medical workflows and securely streamline health data for responsible healthcare innovation.

Our goal is to take away the stigma of treatment. Patients don’t want to just be treated effectively; they want to be treated as human beings. The decisions we make as designers influence how they perceive their situation. Not only for them but for everyone around them too. After all, when designing for healthcare not the patients, but people, take center stage.

Our goal is to take away the stigma of treatment. Patients don’t always want to be seen as patients. The decisions we make as designers influence how they perceive their situation. Not only for them but for everyone around them too. In the end it’s not about patients, it’s about people.
