Bridging the gap between complex medical technology and clinical usability. A validated high-fidelity prototype designed for precision and efficiency in fast-paced medical environments.
Designing for medical devices presents a unique set of constraints. The interface must be rigorous enough to meet strict medical regulations while remaining intuitive for doctors who operate under high pressure.
The core challenge was to simplify the control of a complex medical scanner without oversimplifying the critical data it provides. We needed to reduce cognitive load, minimize error rates, and ensure that every interaction was deliberate and precise.
My design process was grounded in understanding the clinical workflow. I started by mapping out the doctor's journey from patient setup to scanning and data review.
The final HAPI interface is a validated high-fidelity prototype that balances power with ease of use. Key design decisions included:
Critical scanning data is prioritized, while secondary settings are tucked away to reduce visual clutter.
"Confirm" actions are distinguished from "Cancel" actions through distinct color coding and placement to prevent accidental stops.
Designed for dimly lit radiology rooms to reduce eye strain for medical professionals.
