Minneapolis is the third-largest medical device hub in the US — behind only Silicon Valley and Boston. That means the clinical talent, the industry ecosystem, and the infrastructure you need for usability research are already here.
Plan Your Study
Minneapolis is home to Medtronic, Abbott, Boston Scientific, 3M, Solventum, Baxter, and hundreds of medical device startups and suppliers. More than 500 medical device companies operate in Minnesota.
The density of the industry means your study benefits from an ecosystem that understands medical technology — from the participants you recruit to the logistics providers you rely on.
The Twin Cities metro area is home to major health systems including the University of Minnesota Medical Center, Mayo Clinic (Rochester, 90 minutes south), Allina Health, Fairview Health Services, M Health, and Hennepin Healthcare.
This gives Usability House access to physicians, nurses, surgical technologists, respiratory therapists, and specialty clinicians across virtually every clinical discipline.
For patient populations, the region's diverse demographics and large academic medical center presence support recruitment across chronic conditions, post-surgical populations, and specialty disease states.
Usability House is the only dedicated, independent usability testing facility in Minneapolis designed specifically for IEC 62366-1 and FDA human factors studies.
Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) is a major Delta hub with direct flights from virtually every US city.
The facility is located at 1619 Hennepin Avenue in the Loring Park neighborhood — 15 minutes from the airport, walkable to downtown hotels, with dedicated parking for your team and study participants.
