US-based company that deals with human-centred medical device development and regulatory services ClariMed, Inc. announced on Wednesday that it is opening its new office in Leeds, UK.

This move is intended to strengthen the company's European footprint and improve its ability to serve global customers while capitalising on the region's thriving healthcare innovation ecosystem.

It is to also function as a research facility to host usability and human factors studies to support design development, market research and human factors assessments.

Kelley Kendle, ClariMed CEO, said, 'This expansion not only broadens our geographical reach but also allows us to tap into the region's rich talent pool and innovative spirit. Leeds' strategic location and thriving healthcare sector align perfectly with our mission to drive human-centred innovation in medical device development.'
