Medical Imaging

 Medical Magazine, " Medical Imaging," is another media that I can publish my article. I have already sent an email to the editor, and here is the respond she sent.

 Hello. I cannot make any promises, but I a willing to read your article if you send it to me email once completed. Our publications are about medical imaging, specifically - that means - MRI, CT, ultrasound, PET, etc. So if your article covers that sort of thing, maybe I can help you. Thanks.

MD & DI

Here is the Magazine " MD & DI " on which I want to publish my article.
Medical Device & Diagnostic Industry is monthly magazine written by equipment manufactures of medical devices. The goal is to help professionals develop design, comply with regulations, understand the market trend. Also, this magazine gives an opportunity to publish an article to readers.

How to submit Edition?
I have to send an article, outline, or letter to the editor. The article should be sharply focused on a well-designed thesis and must meet standard of peer reviewers.

Diamgram of "Role of Medical device development"

Diamgram of "Role of Medical device development"

I created a diagram that describes the current situation of medical device development, and the ideal prototype of next generation medical device.

There are 11 factors that the manufacturer and designer should consider during the process of developing medical product.

1. Surgical Efficacy
2.Regulatory Compliance
3.Intuitive Usage for Doctor, Nurse, and Patient
4.Environmental Impact
5. Service Consideration
6. Brand Identity
7. Product cost
8. Product language
9. Ergonomics
10.Technology Improvement
11. Business Model

Design Opportunities in Medical Devices for people with Diabetes

From the article focusing on the user interface design needs of people with diabetes, I found some interesting design solutions for the better interface design.

One of the "Medical Product Device Role" I defined was "Intuitive usage", and I think GUI ( Graphic User Interface) plays a important role in here. I will write down several solutions concerning GUI, so we can share the information, and can see what factor makes the product interface better.

1. Give components easy-to-distinguish shapes. For example,

use a combination of rantangular, circular, and triangular push button. / Add pillow-embossed icons, or other types of tactile features that can make product features more identifiable by touch / Make finger and hand contact surface larger than usual, reducing the need for a pich,type grp

2. Ensure Comprehension. For example,

Direct useres to perform procedures in a discrete, step-by-step fashion, as opposed to directing users to perform multiple steps at a time. / Number steps so that users can stay on track and not skip an essential action. / Integrate additional confirmation screens into critical device interactions.

Last time when I had an interview with one anesthetist, she told me that effective interface of the machine can reduce a lot of time during surgery. After I had an interview with her, I realized having a users involved in the design process is very helpful to the manufacture or designer. Not only will such involvment help guide user interface designs to a right direction, also could aid designing successful product device.
