Diagnostics Machine Interfaces
Diagnostics Machine Interfaces
I had the opportunity to work with a medical device product company to design software and machine interfaces that work together to process lab samples. Below you will see both the software and machine interfaces. The journey begins with lab technicians using the software to prepare sample equipment that they will use to process the samples. Each sample has a specific composition represented by a numerical ID code.
The client confirmed that what we came up with was what their users wanted. We tested this internally several times to make sure the alerts were intuitive before testing it with real users.
We were working with third-party developers to make sure that the machine could return the data needed to display real-time data visualizations as well as deliver blinking signals and beeping when fluid levels were low.
The data visualizations were designed to remain clear and simple so that people could teach each other how to use the machine. We also created onboarding screens with video tutorials showing people how to unload and reload fluids.

I designed interfaces for three types of machines shown below, which are sample processing and preparation machines and desktops.

For the sample processing machines, I spent time learning how the machines work and the engineering involved because I needed to design interfaces for them that allowed lab technicians to understand what would be going on inside the machines. See some close-ups of these interfaces below:
