Medical Laser Application

Medical Laser Tablet Application

Overview

I was hired on contract by a large medical device manufacturer to design the interface of a new dermatological laser product for treating vericose veins. The UI I designed here would eventually be developed for a proprietary, touch tablet device which was mounted to the large piece of equipment for in-office use by medical professionals.

I was absolutely thrilled to explore a whole new industry, and to find out the most effective strategies for designing an interface with touch input. Knowing that a doctor's mistake on the device might lead to major consequences, I strove to make the user experience as intuitive and straightforward as possible.

Having met in-person with the product team to discuss the project's scope and needs, I initiated the design process by constructing a user flow for the app. The product's functionality was fairly uncomplicated, with the majority of user input (by doctors) taking place on one dashboard. 

There was another user type who would access the device, namely a company service technician. Consequently, I set up a distinct mode through which they could access the advanced settings and product controls.

After making tweaks and conferring with my client, we gave the nod of approval to the user flow, paving the way for me to suggest a dynamic look and feel for the app's interface. My client wanted this product to be ahead of the curve in terms of having a contemporary UI, giving them an edge over rival products in the space.

Making sure it was easy to use for doctors administering dermatological laser treatments was a priority. So, I came up with three distinctive navigational layouts and visual designs for us to review. Offering my client several choices is a wonderful way to get the dialogue going and contemplate the potential outcomes.

After considering all the possible options, we ultimately chose to go with a modified version of B, as it best illustrated the necessary info while remaining in line with the essence of our company's brand. I proceeded to employ the UI instructions to the pre-defined user screens, and I set out to craft a design system for the app. On the main dashboard, the card UI changes according to the data of the device: laser status, laser pointing state, and RFID card status.

The final UI system came together as a successful design that was excitedly approved by my client's product team. We collaborated via InVision's inspect mode and comments system to define the development requirements.
