UNDERSTANDING A MEDICAL DEVICE CONSOLE

This project required a full UX design for a management console that not only served the needs of both the medical and office staffs, but also could be accessed by the larger medical group administration. Additionally there was a need for an administrative user management console.

The portal needed to be extremely easy to use; for user management, monitoring real-time status of the kiosk, distribution of vaccines, and inventory.

The first step was understanding the ins-and-outs of the medicinal vaccine world. There are quite of few government regulations that have to be adhered to. I created personas for the different types of users of the console. administrator -- clerical, clinician, physician, and technician.

When I finished user types, I created a navigational hierarchy based on the various user scenarios I developed, which were then translated into wire frame designs.

APPLY WHAT YOU LEARN

Once refined enough, I created full visual designs and prototyped the UI which, after some refinements, got client approval and were implemented. We went through a few design cycles based on feedback from users in the field and stake-holders to refine and further develop.

The functional tools included system user access—roles and profiles, vaccine management—data input, distribution, inventory levels, re-stocking information and lastly, patient information and vaccination orders from physicians.

The system was deployed in 2016 and is currently being field tested at a number of medical facilities in the U.S.
