The Team
I worked with b.One Design and an engineering firm (Mindflow Design) as consultants to Qualigen for a new blood diagnostic product.

My role was creating initial design concepts, making mockups, refining those mockups based on user testing feedback, creating final screens, and building comprehensive documentation for everything along the way.
Problem to Solve
The Fastpack2 was a device that enabled lab techs to run diagnostic tests that would otherwise have to be run by certified technicians. Special design considerations had to be made to ensure that the device passed all of the CLIA standards tests to attain CLIA-waived status.

This status meant that it was user friendly and intuitive enough that special training wasn't required. To achieve this status, we'd need to design a user interface that was straightforward and kept any user confusion to a minimum.

Final Designs
Qualigen - Home Screen
Home screen
All interactions would need to be touch-based, since this screen was mounted on the diagnostic device.

We made the core functionality (running tests and recalibrating for quality control) easily accessible from the home screen.
Qualigen - Test in Progress
Test in Progress
Running a test was as simple as scanning a few barcodes and then inserting the test sample.

The UI kept the person running the test informed about what was going on and quickly gave back test results, which could be exported to a variety of sources.
Qualigen - Multitasking
Multitasking
Tests were able to be run in the background to allow the operator to continue working on other things while a test was in progress.
Qualigen - Results
Results
Information related to the test that was just run and the results were displayed prominently on the final screen, with options to export to a variety of places.
Qualigen - Device Calibration
Device Calibration
Quality control was handled directly on the device using a similar workflow as a regular test.

A calibration sample was scanned, placed into the test area, and then a diagnostic was run to ensure that test results matched what was expected.
