SPECTRA Cancer Diagnostic System
SPECTRA IMDX™ uses spectroscopy to provide real-time feedback on the level of cancer upon contact with organ tissues. The industrial designers' task was to design a market-ready product and GUI (graphic user interface) in parallel with Endofotonics R&D team's product development programme. The design needed to integrate with current endoscopy procedures and clinical workflow with minimum disruption to clinical staff’s activities during operation.
Design Exchange started the design process from a functional prototype stage. During the design process, the designers addressed usability in terms of ergonomics as well as ease of operation and maintenance. The component’s layout was optimised to ensure that the device can fit within the tight confines of surgery facilities in most hospitals.
An intuitive and adaptive GUI Design was developed to work with multiple languages and reduce training time and human error. SPECTRA IMDX™ is currently undergoing clinical trials in Singapore & China.
