Team Project

Brief

Designing an ultrasound machine that reduces the learning curve for doctors by rethinking the UI language of the control panel.

Overview

A redesigned cart-based ultrasound machine with a focus on the control panel. By introducing height as a third dimension to the UI language, the learning curve reduces significantly, letting operators navigate the machine by feel, keeping their attention where it belongs: on the patient.

How are these habits built?

Repetition over time

The time required to learn interaction
is shaped by the design of the interface

Concept

Small changes, big impact. We used height as a third dimension to the UI language of the control panel . Introducing height differences across the form to guide the operator naturally. These height differences also act as points of affordance.

  • A Dip in the control panel's form. It provides easy access to the buttons surrounding the cursor

  • A gentle slope on the arm. For better acesssibility of the cup and probes.

  • To rest the palm while working. Works an anchor point.

  • Sutble height differences in the control panel creates heirarchy and guides the hand using sensory feedback.
