Philips started partnering with Innokas in this development due to Innokas knowhow and solid experience from medical devices. Innokas Medical has been Philips’ partner in product development of MRI related to radiotherapy.

“Innokas has experienced designers, who have participated in wide variety of medical system design projects. Through this co-operation we can gain new perspectives and new experiences to our organization – the co-operation with Innokas brings us new knowhow that we might not have in-house. I also believe that Innokas learns from us and about us, which might speed up our design projects in cases where our own resources may not be sufficient. We are especially happy about Innokas expertise in mechanical design, radiation physics and reliability testing”, says Jarmo Ruohonen from Philips.
