Lightweight Medical is an multi award winning speculative design company developing healthcare products to improve patient care by solving real clinical need. Our ‘problem-led’ approach ensures there are strong and receptive markets for our products. We are an IP vendor. We license the intellectual property of our innovations to product producing partners for a royalty of sales.

We practice evidence based design. Our design process starts with a comprehensive user centred research phase in partnership with the NHS. We then apply our design business acumen throughout the technical design engineering process. This know-how includes core commercialisation skills such as analysing market opportunity, funding sources, intellectual property, regulations and certification. Our balanced and holistic approach results in successful innovations.

Lightweight Medical also works in strategic collaboration with individuals and organisations to take new innovations to market. To these collaborations we bring our skill set as technical product engineers, our unique access into the NHS for developmental feedback and our ability to navigate the complex healthcare innovation landscape. This unique skill set results in the successful commercialisation of new healthcare products.

Lightweight Medical is the only company practicing sustainable design in the healthcare sector. Our environmentally and socially responsible products meet new green procurement policies and producer responsibility legislation.

ELEMENT 06 is our co-creation consultancy product design engineering brand.
