Innovation Hub
Innovation is Part of Our DNA
Innovation has always been part of SteelcoBelimed’s DNA and a cornerstone of our strategy. Inspired by the future of healthcare and life sciences, we explore untapped opportunities across new materials, product development, manufacturing, distribution, and digital platforms. To bring this vision to life, we created the Innovation Hub in Switzerland: a collaborative space where researchers, engineers, and designers work alongside universities, research institutions, and customers. Part of Miele’s development cluster, the Hub leverages a broad network and modern methods – including design thinking – to develop new products, applications, and tailored solutions for tomorrow’s healthcare and life science challenges.
A Consumer-Focused Approach to Innovation
From product and design innovation to reimagining the consumer experience, our approach to innovation focuses on understanding the evolving needs of our consumers. Longer life expectancy, changes in consumer lifestyles, evolving vision needs linked to major socio-demographic factors (including intensive digital-screen exposure) and heightened awareness of health-related issues all present both considerable R&D challenges and opportunities for the industry.
Our R&D Activities
Organized into Three Areas
Humanoid robotics
Use of robotics solutions to provide targeted support to RUMED / CSSD personnel – particularly in light of the ongoing shortage of skilled workers in the healthcare sector.
Machine learning
AI-supported analysis and use of large amounts of data to further improve the efficiency and reliability of devices.
Sustainable technologies
Development of new technologies to continuously improve device performance, with sustainability in mind.
