Our team works with you through every phase of our ISO-13485 compliant development process. Our carefully sequenced De-Risking, Development, and Commercialization phases ensure the right decisions are made at critical points in the development process.
At Key Tech, we understand that speed-to-data is speed-to-market; we’re experts in proving out new technology. Our Rapid Innovation process is designed to help you quickly identify, prototype, and risk-proof solutions, whether it’s for existing product upgrades or next generation products. So you get to market with speed and confidence.
You’ve demonstrated it works in the lab, but will your technology work in the real world, where environmental variables are harder to control? Leverage Key Tech’s creative inquiry and proven ability to solve the toughest challenges in the technology assessment process to determine if your technology has the legs to make it to market.
Technology Assessment engagements consist of characterizing the technology and studying the governing variables of interest that affect how it works. Prior technologies assessed include digital microfluidic sample prep techniques, silicon microfabricated diagnostic sensors, and functional ultrasound systems – to name a few.
Start by downloading our whitepaper, Proving Technology Works in Products: The 8-Point Assessment Checklist, to gain a deeper understanding of the assessment process.
The general assessment process is focused on de-risking, resulting in a better understanding of your technology and how it will be embodied in a finished product:

Clients enjoy working with Key Tech, particularly when our team dovetails into their existing client teams. Our team provides a fresh perspective to the overall program, while focusing on the subsystem of interest. Subsystem Development engagements are for when you have an existing design team running a program, but you may need extra bandwidth or expertise to augment your team.
We typically develop design specifications for the subsystem(s) of interest, that trace up to the requirements provided by our customers. We then own the design and associated documentation for the subsystem, following our internal quality system protocols. Upon completion, the design ownership is then transferred back to the client or to a selected contract manufacturer.
