Knowledge Transfer Partnership

Driven by the principle of Productive Empathy, V-Trak is committed to understanding and meeting the needs of wheelchair users. They faced the challenge of innovating across multiple dimensions:

This KTP project with PDR, Cardiff Metropolitan University supported innovation and growth in wheelchair design. Together, we developed a comprehensive strategy aimed at:

Integrating a Bespoke User-Centred Design Strategy: By collaborating with us, V-Trak developed and integrated a user-centred and service design strategy into their product development process.

Embedding Mass Customisation Methods: Our partnership helped V-Trak adopt additive manufacturing and advanced production methods, enabling them to offer highly customised products with reduced waste.

Creating a Platform of Quality Management and Medical Regulatory Knowledge: Innovations developed during the KTP were embedded into a robust quality management system, ensuring compliance with international medical regulations.
