IVD (In Vitro Diagnostics) series products include fully automated blood cell analyzers and fully automated specific protein analyzers used for clinical testing of blood and quantification of target protein concentrations. These products utilize relevant detection techniques such as enzyme reactions or radiometric measurements for quantitative analysis. Compared to similar products, our CF8600/CP880 incorporates a touch screen and computer synchronization for more convenient operation. The open sample loading saves time on opening/closing doors and pressing buttons for dilution. Automatic sample loading is used for large sample volumes, while manual sample loading with CP700 is used for small sample volumes or emergency situations. Our CF8600 has a wider linear range for CRP detection, improving the detection and measurement of Hs-CRP in cardiovascular patients.
Feasibility:
In the early stage, the designers conducted extensive clinical research to understand the needs, preferences, and expectations of the target users. User feedback and opinions were collected through interviews, surveys, focus group discussions, etc. Based on the main needs of healthcare professionals in parameter categorization and result clarity, they adopted a clear and modular design approach in the interface. Result information and other tabular content are presented in a contrasting manner to provide key information directly and establish clear priority relationships, reducing user learning costs and improving machine usability.
Social Impact:
The IVD series products provide more professional equipment for specific medical cases, enabling doctors to detect disease risks and abnormalities at an early stage and take appropriate preventive measures. This is significant for epidemic control, infectious disease screening, and chronic disease management, contributing to the improvement of public health. Furthermore, the portability and immediacy of the in vitro diagnostic products enhance the accessibility of healthcare services. They can be used in remote areas or places with limited medical resources, making healthcare services more accessible. This helps to narrow the urban-rural healthcare gap, improve medical equality, and enable more people to receive timely diagnosis and treatment.
Social Responsibility and Inclusiveness:
In the design, the design team adheres to a simple and intuitive approach to ensure that users can easily understand and operate the interface. They use concise and easily understandable icons to provide clear guidance and feedback to users. They encourage user feedback and participation, conducting extensive user research, testing, and feedback channels to understand user needs and experiences, continuously improving and optimizing the UI interface.
UI Design:
In the design process, the designers fully consider user experience. They prioritize user comfort and simplify operation steps. To alleviate visual fatigue during operation, they use a complementary color scheme of blue and red, considering that users will focus on blood for extended periods. The main control button is located in the bottom right corner of the screen for convenient and efficient operation.
Differentiation:
The team emphasizes “what you see is what you get” and prioritizes ease of operation, making it more focused, efficient, and logical. The design incorporates numerous illustrations to make the product more user-friendly, reducing the sense of distance and clinical coldness, and easing user anxiety and tension. The product illustrations are composed of equipment components, making them easy to understand and operate. The usability and user-friendliness of the Schiller equipment are enhanced, enabling faster operation.
This series of products supports external device connectivity for information exchange within the hospital. It can be connected to printers, hospital information systems, and personal computers. Additionally, it supports data transfer via USB and provides mouse and keyboard connections.
