Split lines, sealing around the camera window and housing-to-module transitions were refined part by part, so a medical device feels simple.
From concept to market.
Parents, not clinicians, run the exam. We shaped the device for a child who won't sit still: rounded, friendly, free of clinical cues and steady in one hand.
Designed for families.
A dedicated connector locks each exam tool with a click, handling mechanical fit and electrical contact, so TytoCare can add new clinical modules over time.
Five tools, one device.
TRIM led the full industrial design and mechanical engineering: 3D CAD of the enclosure and internals, DFM and tolerance analysis for injection-moulded parts, ready for volume manufacturing.
Engineered for production
FDA-cleared in 2016 and iF Gold Design Award winner in 2017. TytoCare now serves 250+ health systems and plans, with over 7 million exams.
Shaped with care.
Ergonomic studies and several rounds of foam and 3D-printed models defined a sculpted grip, comfortable for adults and unintimidating for children.
Prototypes validated the layout and connector durability. We then reviewed T1/T2 samples on site in China, reaching the market faster.
TRIM designed and engineered TytoHome, TytoCare's handheld device for medical exams at home. Five exam tools check ears, throat, heart, lungs, skin and temperature, live with a doctor (See a Clinician Online) or recorded and sent for later review (Exam and Forward).
The Results
Designed for families
A sculpted handheld form with smooth transitions, developed around comfortable handling and a child-friendly appearance.
Modular by design
A dedicated connector and adaptor bring interchangeable examination modules into one consistent product architecture.
From development to recognition
Manufacturing refinement and production support helped bring the design to market. TytoHome received the iF Gold Design Award 2017.
