To keep innovating, we take end-user feedback and suggestions very seriously. A great example of a collaboration between MSP Medical and their customers is the request from Medicura, provider of medical aids in home care, hospitals and care institutions. Together with Medicura's occupational therapist Eline Simons - Dekkers, MSP developed a new control for the high-low function of the Levi working chairs, so that it is now placed under the armrest, instead of under the seat, for easier accessibility. This adaptation has now become a much-requested option.
"What I really like at MSP is that they are open to new ideas. They respond enthusiastically and incorporate real-life experiences we provide into their product. They have had to adjust their product because the first adjustment lever was less effective in practice after all. They don't see this as criticism, but rather as a way of improving the product. For instance, I have already asked for several adjustments and they are willing to make this adjustment. When you are involved with the end users, you often see slightly different things than when you are on the production side. By working together, you ensure that the practical experience is included in the product. This makes for a better product that is more usable. I am happy with the cooperation with MSP because they use this effectively. We sometimes don't see this at other suppliers."
At MSP, we take requests from our customers seriously and like to think along with them to improve our products and thus the care for both caregivers and users.
