Session Details
Bringing User Experience to Medical Devices
Speaker: Sebastian HeyckeTime: 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM Date: June 24
Track: Medical Devices
Experience level: All levels
Inspired by an open letter blog post by diabetes advocate, Amy Tenderich, asking Steve Jobs to bring his design genius to the medical device industry, Adaptive Path created an experience design concept known as Charmr. The concept was created based on research with diabetics and diabetes experts. Since the project was announced, the video showing Charmr has been seen at diabetes conferences around the world, and has been viewed by nearly 20,000 people on YouTube.
The most important objective of this project was to NOT approach it as an “engineering or technical problem”. As an experience design firm, we wanted to approach it from the users’ perspective: what is it like to live with diabetes? The idea was to show with our user centered design process that it is possible to make devices that fit the lives of their customers more comfortably and naturally.
In this presentation, attendees will learn about the Adaptive Path approach to this challenge and how medical manufactures, technical writers, information architects, and interaction designers might adopt this approach to improve their products, writing and training.
