Technical Expertise

Tactiq's experience and expertise in embedded software, electronics and user interfaces for medical systems enables us to quickly assess projects and produce an early design concept. This top level architecture allows us to perform modelling and simulation to identify potential issues early and give confidence in both architecture and performance. For user interface development, we have in-depth knowledge of User Task Analysis techniques to ensure the user's needs are clearly understood, combined with the software skills to rapidly develop solutions that make complex systems simple to use.

 

Our highly qualified engineers include members of the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM), the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) and PhD qualified engineers.

 

Tactiq is proud to have GE Healthcare as one of our major clients who we have supported for over ten years including a leading role in developing and supporting their most successful Nuclear Medicine imaging system. Tactiq serve a number of healthcare clients with products ranging from portable medical devices to telemedicine systems. We work with luminaries and specialist hospitals which provide an invaluable source of expertise, product feedback and trials environments.

Global Scope

Tactiq project managers and engineers have planned and executed projects with client teams around the world including the USA, Israel, Asia, Scandinavia and mainland Europe. We have a flexible approach to projects which means we can integrate fully with a client's project team or drive the project more remotely. Whichever way the client wishes to structure a project, we always ensure it is a total team approach with close, trusting communications and regular face to face meetings at key project phases.

Quality & Regulatory Procedures

Tactiq's ISO 13485 accreditation and adherence to robust quality systems are a way of life for us when developing systems for critical application environments such as healthcare. From initial proposals, through design, certification and in-field support, Tactiq have proven quality disciplines that ensure the highest standards are kept throughout. Having quality as second nature also provides additional benefits such as more efficient development projects, design optimisation and overall performance improvement.
