Omnify Software, along with their client, BionX Medical, now Ottobock, has been selected as a finalist for the 2018 Medical Design Excellence Awards (MDEA) for the design and development of the Empower prosthetic foot.
Now in its 20th year, the MDEA is the premier awards program for the medtech industry. The awards program celebrates the accomplishments of medical device manufacturers, their suppliers, and the many people behind the scenes—engineers, scientists, designers, and clinicians—who are responsible for the cutting-edge products that are saving lives. They are improving patient healthcare and transforming medtech—one innovation at a time. Omnify was recognized as Ottobock’s PLM supplier helping the company meet time to market, compliance and efficiency goals for a major re-design of the world’s only active prosthetic foot. The Empower is an innovation in the field of prosthetic feet and is equipped with an active ankle joint, making it the only prosthetic foot with powered propulsion.
"We are honored to be recognized for the MDEA alongside our customer," stated Chuck Cimalore, CTO for Omnify Software. "A growing number of medtech companies have adopted our PLM solution to help design safe, innovative, and compliant products and it is great to see our customers recognized for their product achievements."
The 2018 winners will be announced at the MDEA Ceremony on Tuesday, June 12, 2018 in conjunction with the MD&M East event, organized by UBM, taking place at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York. To learn more about the event please visit: www.MDMeast.com
