UI Work (Extended)

WARM TOUCH GUI REDESIGN

Medtronic's Warm Touch Convective Warming System is an inflatable warming blanket designed to keep a patient at a consistent temperature during and after surgery or to treat hypothermia. The goal of the redesign was to fix some errors in the original design as well as update to new Medtronic design standards.

PROPOSED GUI Design

Issues:

Temperature not easily read from a distance
Disconnect between physical buttons and icons on screen
Icon design inconstancies
Confusing button layout
Not up to date with Medtronic branding principles

Redesigned GUI SOLUTION

Solutions:

Much larger type size for temperature reading
Moved buttons closer to edge of screen and added arrow shaped indentations that point to corresponding buttons
Redesigned icons to have similar visual qualities (open outline design with consistent line width, with more intuitive imagery)
Buttons/Icon grouped and arranged according to functions
Updated according to Medtronic's Visual Identity System

VITAL RING UI CONCEPT DESIGN

The Vital Ring UI is a touch-screen interface designed to fit both within the existing 980 Viking Ventilator interface, and on mobile devices (laptops/tablets). Vital Ring is designed to aggregate multiple data points in order to provide an overall assessment of the patient’s
condition. Along with a large Comprehensive Score, Vital Ring provides the user with Segment Weighting options, Trending, Data Point Comparison, Segment Swap & Logs View.

Storyboard concept

PURITAN BENNETT SERIES 880 (840 UPDATE)

The Puritan Bennet Series 880 Ventilator was designed as the successor to the current acute critical care ventilator the Puritan Bennet 840 Ventilator. Using the well known PB 840 vent as a template the new PB 880 will combine the smaller separated screens (2" separation) of the 840 and combine them into a much larger resolution single-touch-screen. Along with adding a status bar the 880 was to have a clean modern UI with updated color pallet to match the visual identity of Covidien's other products.

FINAL 880 DESIGN

Screen Layout

The 840 was divided into 5 main areas. The large patient data and alarm status area. Made to be seen from a distance to get a quick idea on the patient's data. The Upper Screen Area is navigated using tabs. It shows waveform, logs, alarm settings and trending data. Current vent settings are shown prominently in the Main Settings Area. The Lower Subscreen Area (navigated with tabs) allows vent settings to be changed, including alarm limits, apnea & vent setup. The Status Bar was an addition to the 840 to show time, battery status and allow screen-captures.

ZEPHYRLIFE COMMAND STATION WIREFRAMES

The Zephyr LIFE Command Station is designed to simultaneously display the live bio-data from up to 30 patients on a single hospital floor. In a dual-screen setup the left screen would show the tabular data of each patient, while the right screen could show details of a single patient along with visualizations of aggregated data. The wireframes below were designed based on recommendations from a Clinical Observation Study by UL-Wiklund Research & Design on the ZephyrLIFE BioPatch and Monitor Station.
