An emergency COVID-19 ventilator
Adding Value to Healthcare
During the beginning of covid-19 in America we started 3D printing face shields for local hospitals and wanted to find more ways to get involved. Luckily, we were contacted by a company called Meter to:
- Build a landing page for their ventilator
- Design a dashboard for it to be used in hospitals
Scope
Software Engineering
A Landing Page with Impact
The Landing page was scoped out and built so that Meter could get the ventilator in front of hospital staff as fast as possible. This meant that the landing page needed to:
- Support all browsers.
- Support all breakpoints.
- Be fully accessible.
- Have Good SEO.
- Be able to support large amounts of traffic.
The original desktop web design was done by Ehsan Noursalehi and in order to save time, we designed what it would look like on mobile and made sure it was implemented properly.
Design
A Nurse-Centric Dashboard
The Ventilator UI was scoped out and built to emphasize the following:
- Real-time monitoring of patient ventilator data- We talked to medical experts that would be using the ventilator and found that they needed to be able to see the ventilator data in real-time to make sure the patient was getting the right amount of oxygen and not flatlining.
- Quickly highlight what patient needs attention - Based on medical guidance, we designed the UI to immediately move patients that were in distress to the top and highlight them in red.
- Simplifying UI - this was done because nurses are often under rested and overwhelmed with information and need to quickly understand the patient's status at a glance. Because of this, the dashboard held only the necessary data needed for monitoring ventilator patients.
