Tools That Support Care

TandemClinic focuses on creating engineering solutions that directly support clinical practice. Our work responds to the day-to-day needs of clinicians, from improving decision-making to enhancing patient communication. Everything we build is guided by real problems and refined through close collaboration with care teams. We aim to design tools that are practical, safe, and easy to integrate—solutions that make care more consistent, more informed, and more patient-centered.

3D Models for Planning and Communication

We develop anatomical models using 3D printing and advanced fabrication techniques to help clinicians better understand structures, plan procedures, and communicate complex conditions. These models offer a tangible way to explore anatomy, test ideas, and anticipate challenges before entering the clinical setting.

Beyond planning, models also support education for trainees and clearer conversations with patients and families. By grounding discussions in something physical and precise, they make clinical information more accessible and meaningful.

Simulation Tools for Practice and Preparation

Our simulation systems blend digital modeling, physical prototypes, and scenario-based design to support rehearsal, training, and evaluation. These tools create a safe environment where clinicians can practice techniques, explore procedural variations, and examine how different decisions play out.

Simulation helps teams prepare for rare, high-risk, or complex situations where real-world opportunities to train may be limited. By offering structured, repeatable experiences, these tools support confidence, reduce uncertainty, and promote shared understanding across the care team.

Digital Tools That Strengthen Workflow

We design digital platforms that simplify clinical processes and support more consistent care delivery. These tools range from structured decision supports to full care-pathway systems, including condition-specific platforms such as the Seizure Action Plan. Each tool is developed with clinicians from the earliest stages, ensuring the system reflects real clinical logic, minimizes cognitive load, and fits into existing workflows. Our goal is not just to digitize tasks, but to create clarity—helping care teams focus on patients rather than navigating complex systems.

Solutions Built With Clinicians, For Clinicians

Collaboration is central to every project. We work side-by-side with clinicians, educators, and families to understand challenges from all perspectives and design tools that truly meet their needs. This close partnership ensures that solutions remain grounded, usable, and clinically relevant. Whether physical or digital, each tool is shaped by evidence, refined through feedback, and built to make a measurable difference in care.
