Infosys has signed a definitive agreement to acquire product design and development company Kaleidoscope Innovation, which specialises in medical, consumer and industrial markets.

Kaleidoscope has a deep understanding of clinical environments and strong product development capabilities across various domains.

The company designs microsurgical instruments used in minimally invasive surgery, drug delivery devices for ophthalmic therapies and user-centric wearables. It also provides usability testing for regulatory submissions, including the delivery mechanism for aortic stents.

The company expects the acquisition to enable it to bring together cutting-edge technologies and experience to transform patient care, treatment, diagnostics and consumer health globally.

Infosys president Ravi Kumar said: “This acquisition further strengthens our digital offerings at the intersection of new software technologies and medical devices – a sector that is expected to witness significant investments and consumerisation in the post-Covid-19 era.
