That’s why our latest product, [Compass MED](https://cognition.us/solutions/compass-med/), was designed with 3 key priorities in mind: Improve efficiencies, incorporate quality by design, and enhance risk management and compliance. We recently sat down with Julie Whalen, Global Quality Senior Leader, Design Controls, at Kimberly-Clark, to learn more about how this new product ([learn more about seven of the most exciting Compass MED capabilities](https://blog.cognition.us/seven-ways-compass-med-helps-speed-time-to-market-for-med-device-manufacturers)) will influence her and her team.  In this video, she explains: - How Compass MED will ensure consistency, enhance efficiencies, and eliminate repetitive work  - How Compass MED’s traceability capabilities will help support appropriate verification and validation  - How Compass MED will enhance risk management and risk analysis  “One thing I'm most excited about with implementing Compass MED at Kimberly-Clark is integrating design risk analysis into design documentation,” says Whalen. “Often it is a side shoot and not integrated and people don't think about pulling that information into their decision-making process. By using Compass MED, it is right there, it is highlighted, and it is in the forefront of their mind.”   ### Request a Demo Today!   #### About Cognition Corporation At Cognition, our goal is to provide medical device and pharmaceutical companies with collaborative solutions to the compliance problems they face every day, allowing the customer to focus on their products rather than the system used to create them.
