engineering design for global health

clinical technology,
integrated and mobile

We are a small engineering practice based in Central Australia.

Our work sits at the intersection of clinical technology, infrastructure, health equity, and lived experience — especially in remote and cross-cultural contexts.

We consult, design, prototype, and solve — across both simple and specialised clinical systems, community health infrastructure, and more.

We specialise in integrating high-end systems — including dialysis, dental, and audiology — into both permanent facilities and mobile platforms.

how we work

Founded in 2020, the practice brings together over 20 years of experience in biomedical engineering, research, and remote health delivery.

We believe that good systems are designed with the people who use them — and for the people they serve.

We use ethnographic methods to translate the lived experience of communities and clinicians into design specifications. We use iterative design to optimise constraints. We use local languages wherever possible, because understanding begins with listening.

Our work is collaborative by nature. We partner closely with clients and draw on a trusted network of professionals depending on each project’s needs.

seeds of the practice

Our story begins in East Timor in 2004, providing pro-bono clinical engineering support to hospitals and clinics.

Since then, our work has included:

  • Award-winning medical device and system designs

  • Nationally recognised contributions to remote Aboriginal healthcare services

  • Innovations in sustainability and water conservation for remote desert healthcare

  • Biomedical workshop design and development

  • Internationally delivered biomedical training programs

  • Embedded consultancy in international health service design

  • Projects across six countries

Now based in Central Australia, working globally.

what we offer

We take on a small number of projects each year.

We work at both ends of a project: helping scope the right clinical systems from the outset, and commissioning them in time for patient care.

We design engineering systems for global and remote health — where context matters as much as technology.

From building technician workshops in village hospitals, to supporting and training remote health-workers to use healthcare technology, we focus on medical systems that work — wherever they’re needed most.

on-site clinical integration

We work at both ends of the project — helping scope the right medical systems at the start, and commissioning them in time for patient care.

mobile infrastructure design

We also design complete mobile health units — fully integrated, pre-commissioned, and ready for deployment. Systems are installed, validated, and supported with on-site training as required.

the three-percent problem

Most of the world’s hospitals run on less than three percent of the needed resources to support and maintain their medical equipment. We’d like to change that.

3% of any invoice goes to the support of medical infrastructure in low-resource communities

medical workshop design

Everything needed to support medical device infrastructure, including layout, fitout and technician training.

global health

humanitarian engineering

In remote and resource-limited healthcare, technical challenges are never just technical. Every transport decision, every piece of equipment, every workspace affects real people — patients, clinicians, and communities living with the realities of distance, climate, and limited resources.

We work alongside these teams to:

• Create workshops that are practical, durable, and centred on the needs of those doing the work.
• Quietly meet the three-percent problem — the small, unfunded gaps that aren’t covered by policy but matter deeply in daily care.

Sometimes, it's the small things that keep whole systems working.
