Pattern transforms the way we manage and treat infections by reducing lab time from 2-3 days to just 2-3 hours. At its core the Pattern system uses microfluidics and artificial intelligence to rapidly tailor results, optimizing patient outcomes, saving millions of lives each year. Pattern will change the course of modern healthcare.
Herbst worked with Pattern to research, conceptualize, iterate, refine and execute an award-winning solution. The Pattern system is easy to install, service and use and can be rapidly deployed in diverse lab environments. The system is modular and stackable, with a single power module accommodating up to 23 individual test bays to support maximum patient sample throughput, saving time and saving lives.

When we get sick, the doctor takes a throat sample and sends it to “the lab.” The clock is ticking as they identify the specific infection through a 2-3 day long culture to see which antibiotics are most effective. Meanwhile, because we can’t wait days for results, our doctor has prescribed a “broad spectrum” cocktail of antibiotics. This perpetuates a dangerous cycle of over-prescribing and may generate “super bugs” that are resistant to our medicines. Pattern shrinks your wait time down to mere hours, so you can get a targeted prescription of exactly the antibiotic you need - no more, no less.
Herbst entered the Pattern picture early in the development process, before they even had a name. The Industrial Design team worked closely with the science, technical and engineering teams to redefine the basic diagnostic proof-of-concept and completely evolve the human factors, unit modularity and overall usability for a more streamlined and optimized solution.
Our mission is simple: we will inform the world's most important health decisions. Recognized by the FDA with a "Breakthrough Device Designation," Pattern will change the course of modern healthcare.
