Role UX/UI Designer
Concept and design for software to manage and record all active and inactive devices in the system. The major challenge was to localise the devices in their various rooms in the network and to record operating data, even if they were not in use at the time. Devices had to be automatically recognised and added to the network.
Overview
Research
In order to improve the usability and user experience (UX) of device utilisation analytics, extensive research is essential to better understand the current challenges and requirements of users.
Analysis: An in-depth analysis of the various user groups that use the admin system is crucial. This includes administrators, medical professionals and IT managers in companies. The aim is to understand the different requirements, behavioural patterns and needs of these user profiles.
Usability evaluation: A comprehensive evaluation of the existing user interface is necessary in order to identify weaknesses. Aspects such as navigation, data visualisation, complexity of control elements and the efficiency of information retrieval should be evaluated.
Problem
The main problem was to localise the various devices used in different rooms in the network and to record their operating data, even if they were temporarily not in operation.
Complex data visualisation: Information on device usage is difficult to understand due to complex representations, which makes interpretation difficult.
Lack of information: The devices do not display maintenance intervals and running times. These must be read in manually on each device.
Solution
Concept and design for software to manage and record all active and inactive devices in the system.
Device-Network-Detection: Implementation of a function to localise the devices within the premises by using network data. This allows users to track and visualise the exact location of the various devices in the rooms. By integrating network data, administrators can obtain precise information about the location and utilisation of devices, further improving the efficiency of device management and usage. This feature helps to provide a more comprehensive overview of device operation in real time and enables more effective management of medical equipment in organisations.
User-centred design: The UX/UI design should be strongly geared towards the specific needs of the various user profiles. A well thought-out design of the user interface and information architecture is crucial here.
