BOSTON SCIENTIFIC
How do you enable patients to treat pain?
In my role on the user interface project for Boston Scientific’s spinal cord stimulator, my goal was to create a system that prioritized an easy-to-control user interface. This involved conducting user research to understand user needs and preferences. I collaborated with teams from mechanical engineering, software engineering, and marketing to ensure a holistic approach to design. Throughout the project, I utilized digital prototypes, 2D interactive mockups, and 3D modeling to visualize and refine the user interface. Rigorous user testing was conducted to gather feedback and make iterative improvements. By focusing on these aspects, my aim was to deliver a user-friendly and intuitive interface for Boston Scientific’s spinal cord stimulator.
