Going Beyond Innovating Healthcare for Everyday Use

In the wake of the ever-changing healthcare space, the value of physician care is not only associated to the quality of patient outcomes, but also to drive the financial health and viability of hospitals. A bothersome scenario, however, is the healthcare organizations' unwillingness to innovate have made it hard to meet the ever-increasing needs of the patients. There needs to be more seamless effective, efficient, and thoughtful points of care from hospital to home and at every point in between. Helping physicians and allied health professionals meet these high-pressure demands of a constantly changing healthcare environment is an Ohio-based medical devices manufacturing company, Bionix.

As a quality-driven and service-oriented company, Bionix powers the delivery of impactful, market-leading medical devices to every targeted patient care site and home around the world, improving lives through better health and personal care. The company's products not only ameliorate the clinical outcomes but also provide tangible financial benefits to patients by lowering healthcare costs.

Thirty-five years back, Bionix had started its innovation in the pediatric marketplace, and because the first is always special, the company still has a strong foothold on pediatrics. Despite branching out its products to the areas of family practice, primary care, and beyond, Bionix has an enthralled focus on frontline care. With Bionix's family care provision, patients can use its products safely back at home without any assistance. The company envisions setting up a broad clinical advisory board that covers the different market segments from pediatrics to acute care to long-term care. Working closely with the customers, Bionix also gives reality to their product ideas by analyzing their value proposition and taking them all the way through to commercialization. The concept of empathy and understanding of the customers' world is what drives innovation within Bionix's walls. "Every time our customers say, 'Oh, yeah! Why did I not think of that?' we consider ourselves successful in having provided value with our innovations and benefitted them," says Chris Becker, President of Bionix.

Designed by medical professionals, for medical professionals; Bionix's products cater to various operations in different hospital segments for acute, primary, and frontline care. As a product development methodology, Bionix first performs an internal analysis of the product's idea, USP, and level of innovativeness. Post assuring how beneficial the product is for the patients, Bionix goes out to present it to its customers. These customers review the product and suggest design inputs which help Bionix develop a final prototype. The next round of customer feedbacks ensures Bionix if they are on the right track to deliver a product that embodies all the discussed aspects. In case the developed prototype is ready for clinical use, the healthcare organizations can utilize it within a facility to provide Bionix with actual feedback that will help understand the true needs of the patients versus something that might miss the mark.

Bionix products are designed and held to professional standards as well as medical regulations. They are utilized every single day for the treatment of various patient ailments ranging from simple ear wax removal, the alleviation of pain and anxiety from shots, to feeding/swallowing difficulties. Developing products in collaboration with its customers is one of the differentiating factors that set Bionix apart from the rest.

Leveraging technological advancements, Bionix allows patients to get real-time information about their health condition, diagnosis, and everything else that a physician generally keeps to his unit. Already spread across 50 countries, Bionix looks forward to continuing to sail across continents and strengthening its footprint of pediatrics, which is their fastest-growing market.
