Advanced Mechanical Engineering for a New MedTech Mobility Headrest Design

Adaptive Switch Labs & Invacare hired Mako Design to completely re-design their MedTech mobility headrest product to ensure it was easy to use, had simple clip mechanisms to modify the shape, heavily increased the electronic mobility sensor connections to the user, and reduced production costs. Industrial designed and mechanically engineered from the ground up by the Mako design and engineering team, this revolutionary product has won a number of medical device design awards. This device is now ASL’s featured product right on their homepage.
