SaRVaK 1301 - 12 Channel ECG Machine
Background
Innovative devices, be it a basic fitness monitoring device or a complex scanner, or Robotic Surgical Equipment, Medical devices are changing the scope of healthcare across the Globe. With the introduction of the latest technologies, new and innovative medical devices are being introduced in healthcare both in Hospitals and homes. At the same time, there is tremendous pressure to reduce healthcare expenditures while diversifying competition and improving care.
Conceptualization
SaRVaK could be visualized as three different design concepts that include, a minimal book concept featuring a stable structure resembling an open book, a modern streamlined concept featuring sharp lines and intersections, and a slick pebble concept developed specifically to enhance the visual appeal for users. The three concepts explore the different aspects of human-centered design such as empathy, creativity, and business needs. The product was designed to be used by medical professionals in different environmental conditions in the most efficient manner whilst also keeping the patients in mind.
Concept Detailing
Concept detailing The open book concept was chosen to be the final design of the product due to its simple layout that follows the philosophy of ‘Form meets Function’. The concept not only takes care of the functional aspects of the product but also provides a clean ergonomic interface that flows over a stable structure best suiting the user requirements.
