Did you know that around 1 in 6 people worldwide are affected by infertility? While infertility ultimately affects a great deal of the global population, successful outcomes for fertility treatments can often be overlooked and underfunded. We're pleased to work with organisations like Verso Biosense , who are making great progress in this space as they look to improve IVF outcomes for patients with the development of their connected intrauterine device, Iris. Iris has been created to increase the success rates of IVF for users, and reduce the total cost of the procedure. The implantable device has novel integrated uterine oxygen and temperature sensors, and wireless connectivity.

After attending an insightful PDA - Parenteral Drug Association , our Head of Research & Strategy Lucy Baldwin , and Principal Design Consultant Phillip Jackson , continued their travels and spent a number of days working with our USA design and development team in Morristown. Lucy reflects on the value of their time with our USA colleagues: "While in the states for a conference we took the opportunity to visit our fantastic design & development colleagues in Morristown, New Jersey. Our end to end capability and facilities in both the UK & US sites means we can field projects more efficiently, and with deep knowledge of local markets. As well as progressing a number of exciting projects together, we of course also took the time to enjoy fall in full swing, and sample some culinary delights." We work closely with our US team, despite the distance, but it's always great to make the most of the time we have with the team in person. #Design #ProductDevelopment #Healthcare SteriPack Group
