In fields such as healthcare and life sciences, designing solutions means working in conditions where even the smallest detail can have a direct impact on patient health and safety. Here, engineering goes far beyond technology alone \u2013 it becomes a combination of precision, responsibility, and a deep understanding of real\u2011world use.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>In the latest episode of Sii Talks, Wojciech Drescher, Head of Healthcare at Sii Poland, speaks with Ewelina Kozio\u0142, Offering Lead at Product Design Studio, about what it means to design solutions where accuracy and responsibility are absolutely critical.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Design&nbsp;between&nbsp;form and&nbsp;responsibility&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Product design is often associated primarily with aesthetics and form. In reality, however, it is a much broader discipline. As Ewelina Kozio\u0142 emphasizes, behind every final product shape lie functionality, ergonomics, safety, and hundreds of hours of analysis and simulation. Especially in industries such as automotive and healthcare, design has a tangible impact on people \u2013 from everyday comfort to minimizing risk in critical situations.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Projects&nbsp;where&nbsp;health&nbsp;and&nbsp;safety&nbsp;are&nbsp;at&nbsp;stake&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>During the conversation, several examples of projects delivered by Sii are discussed. These include simulations of robotic arms used in laparoscopic surgery, where the key challenge is balancing surgical precision with the safety of medical staff; the design of a protective enclosure for a human tissue printer; rehabilitation and well\u2011being solutions, such as motion\u2011supporting suits for patients; and advanced prosthetics that significantly improve mobility and quality of life. Each of these projects highlights how closely engineering and technology are connected to real human needs.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AI as&nbsp;support&nbsp;for&nbsp;engineers&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Another important topic in the discussion is the use of Artificial Intelligence as practical support for engineering work. In healthcare, the volume of data is enormous, which is why AI algorithms are increasingly assisting engineers in analysis, simulation, and optimization. As Ewelina Kozio\u0142 points out, AI does not replace engineers \u2013 it supports them in decision\u2011making, helps explore alternative solutions, and enables more efficient work with complex datasets.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Watch the&nbsp;full&nbsp;Sii&nbsp;Talks&nbsp;episode&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Projektowanie urz\u0105dze\u0144 medycznych: wyzwania zespo\u0142\u00f3w in\u017cynieryjnych | #SiiTalks\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dNRx6M_qBzw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":131,"featured_media":143645,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[4027,5942,6195],"class_list":["post-143653","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-healthcare","tag-industrial-engineering","tag-sii-talks-en"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1920x740_Pressroom-cover_drescher_ko-1.jpg","category_names":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143653"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/131"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143653"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143653\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":143656,"href":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143653\/revisions\/143656"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143645"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sii.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
