Earth is calling...  D’Andrea & Evers

 D’Andrea & Evers, design agency from Enter in the municipality of Wierden in Twente, has contributed to better healthcare through their top design. They worked over 1,5 years to design a medical device that makescardiovascular surgeries possible for more people. This so-called "Cath Lab" has the same image capabilities as comparable modern machines, but is 2 to 4 times cheaper. “As a result, more hospitals can purchase the equipment. Therefore, many more cardiovascular operations can be performed, saving lives," says Tom Evers, co-owner of the design agency from Twente.

Vikram Mordani is the initiator of Innvolution Image Technologies in Bangelore, India. He was working on the development of new technology for cardiovascular operations and needed an industrial design agency that could give the cheaper version of his medical device a high-quality appearance. “Usually, the technology easily costs half a million. By choosing a slightly stripped-down machine in functionality, he can deliver it for around one and a half tons. The challenge was that this device was not allowed to look cheaper, so that is why we paid much attention to the design”.

D’Andrea & Evers Design is an experienced industrial design agency, specialised in medical technologies. They develop medical aids for diagnosis, care and self-care in the field of life science and health. Examples are an operating system for eye surgery, a hand scanner for rheumatoid arthritis, pendulum arms in operating rooms and the Cath Lab.
