ECG-recording system optimized for AF-screening

Important results from the project

The project fulfilled the overall goal to develop a viable design concept, including interaction design, for a thumb-ECG tailored for large screening projects. In addition market/user requirements were defined, as well as technical feasibility studies of the device. The new product will strengthen the cost effectiveness of screening program for atrial fibrillation.

Expected long term effects

The project has successfully performed an industrial design effort together with external expertise in ID. Mockups has been produced and an interaction design has been proposed and evaluated. Customer requirements have been defined and technical feasibility has been confirmed. The overall goal of a simple, robust and cost effective solution has been fulfilled. The deliverables of the project will ensure Zenicor move to next phase with a viable approach to the design and customer requirements.

Approach and implementation

The project was conducted as part of the definition and specification phase of Zenicor Product dev process. The industrial design was performed in cooperation with expertise within the field. The effort was done in an iterative manner with workshops after each iteration in order to evaluate and decide upon design and usability. In parallell, requirement and technical investigations were performed. In the requirement effort, professionell users were interviewed. By performing this project, Zenicor has the deliverables needed to enter the next phase in the development project.
