How do you bring light and wireless connection to ENTs?
In my role on the industrial design project for the otoscope at Global Med, my goal was to create an intuitive and user-friendly experience for clinicians. To achieve this, I conducted thorough user research to understand the specific needs and workflows of clinicians using otoscopes. I collaborated closely with mechanical engineering, internal subject matter experts, and product managers to ensure that the design addressed the unique requirements of the medical field. Throughout the project, I utilized 3D printing and prototyping techniques to iterate and refine the design based on user feedback. User test sessions were conducted to gather valuable insights and make informed design decisions. Additionally, 3D visualization techniques were employed to visualize and communicate the final design concept effectively. By focusing on these aspects, my aim was to deliver an innovative and user-centric otoscope that would enhance the diagnostic experience for clinicians at Global Med.
