Overview

bioMérieux is a world leader in in-vitro diagnostics. Founded in 1963 and headquartered near Lyon, France, the company serves clinical and industrial laboratories in more than 160 countries, with diagnostic instruments, reagents, software, and services across microbiology, immunoassays, and molecular biology.

The platform we partnered on is used by lab technicians to read and anticipate the data behind results, across bioMérieux's range of diagnostic devices. It was a capable, established product, but its everyday experience had not kept pace with the science it served.

The challenge

bioMérieux wanted to modernize the experience of a legacy application without losing the trust it had earned. Over the years the interface had grown complex, and common workflows were harder than they needed to be.

The team needed two things: a clear, evidence-based view of what to improve, and a design foundation strong enough to scale across a growing product.

The impact

The product now has a modern, consistent experience and a system the team owns. The design system gives bioMérieux a shared, documented foundation for building new screens, in light and dark, without drifting from the brand.

Rather than a one-off redesign, bioMérieux has a repeatable way to grow the product, with a design partner embedded in the team.
