NovyMed International BV is a leading supplier of medical furniture for hospitals and care institutions such as rehabilitation centers and nursing and care homes. In addition to third-party products, they also have their own product line, including the DOC ONE.

Novymed and R2Pro have realized the doctor- and patient-friendly DOC-ONE operating chair. This means that the patient no longer needs to be transferred from bed to bed and can simply sit comfortably in 1 chair. This is good for both doctor and patient.

By working together with the end users as well as the production party and the software party, a chair has been designed that meets the needs of the users, in combination with the desired cost price and feasibility.

Folding shoulder parts, interchangeable headboards and a very wide range of possible movements ensure that the chair is suitable for many different common daytime surgeries.

What started as a short design question turned into a close collaboration. For example, we could regularly be found in hospitals for extensive user research, as well as at the production party for supervising and optimizing production. A small selection of our work:

• User research with doctors and nurses
• Redesign chair for wider usability
