My Role
As design lead for a 5-person team, I drove UX for the patient experience (physical usage, training, measurement flow, and interaction models for custom UI/OS).
I led workshops designing form factor and user affordances, built Figma-to-hardware prototypes, and collaborated with engineers to guide hardware requirements.
The Challenge
Device operation was complex and unforgiving of human error. Early stage physical form factor frequently evolved, and user experience along with it.
How might we translate complex device operation into a simple, repeatable, user experience for older adults with physical and cognitive limitations?
The Outcome
Proven technical feasibility via a user-friendly, end-to-end device experience, combined with an intuitive physical form factor.
