Where does a medical device manufacturer start with AI?
Usually there is already a list of ideas from the departments. What’s missing is a sound assessment by value, feasibility and data situation. We work it out in three to six weeks with your departments and your IT, and at the end it’s clear where you start.
Use-case map
- Complaints & CAPA
- Prescription billing
- Technical documentation
The ideas are there, a consistent assessment often isn’t
Your departments have long had proposals for using AI. Everyone judges them by their own yardstick, so they cannot be compared.
In practice, the project with the strongest advocate then gets implemented, or the decision is postponed.
If the use cases are already clear, it’s faster to continue with AI adoption or a development project.

What we work out with you
We turn your list of ideas into a decision, in three to six weeks and together with your departments and your IT. We also say what isn’t worth it.
- Business model
- We establish whether AI makes your processes faster and cheaper or changes how you earn your money. Pace, budget and who leads the topic depend on that.
- Processes
- In interviews and the workshop we follow your actual workflows and find recurring tasks, media breaks and friction.
- Prioritisation
- We assess every use case by value, feasibility and data situation and put the cases in order. For each one we establish whether a standard tool is enough or custom development is needed.
- Next steps
- We define with you how to continue: a platform for everyone, individual solutions, or both in a fixed order.
How the collaboration works
Three to six weeks, depending on how quickly your departments find dates.
Preparation
Review of existing process documentation, selection of interview partners, tailoring the workshop to your organisation.
Interviews
With department and process owners and with IT: context, systems, friction.
Workshop
With the end users along their real work processes, on site or remote.
Assessment
Detailing the use cases in the canvas and assessing them in the shared grid.
Results
Presentation and discussion of the prioritisation.
What’s on the table at the end
The assessed map of your use cases and three documents your management can decide with.
Every case is described in the same format and is therefore comparable.
The order of implementation, with effort and prerequisites per case.
Recommendation, next steps and the roles you need internally.
How OPED shapes its use of AI strategically
The medical technology manufacturer near Munich wants to make AI part of everyday work. We identified the use cases with departments and IT, in interviews and workshops, and assessed them by value, feasibility and data situation. The outcome was a prioritised AI strategy, whose implementation we support today.
