The blood pressure monitor is a compact device tailored for individuals who frequently measure their blood pressure. To enhance convenience and flexibility, I designed a wireless version of the device.
In this project, I adopted a goal-focused design approach that enhanced the quality of my work. I relied on qualitative research methods, including reviewing literature, analyzing competitors, and interviewing stakeholders. A key step involved developing our persona hypothesis. The project began by addressing fundamental questions, and these methods collectively formed a strong foundation for the design of our blood pressure monitor app.
Design goal:
Easy and comfortable to use, design understandable, clear instant result,
Existing products are often bulky, requiring assembly and two hands to handle, which can be cumbersome for our traditional target audience. Ensuring correct assembly is also a challenge. Additionally, cuffs can be uncomfortable, either being too tight or too loose, and the material may feel harsh on the skin.
Most blood pressure monitors display systolic, diastolic readings, pulse, time, and date. Advanced devices have memory functions and can connect to computers or smartphones via USB for data transfer. Connecting to computers allows users to save, analyze, and possibly share health data. During measurement, monitors provide visual or auditory feedback, such as changing colors or sounds, to guide users.
Depends on the information I collected, I build our personas. They are representative of potential users.
Susane is concerned about her health and wants to be able to monitor and manage it herself.
She measures her blood pressure twice a day, and need a easy-to-use product that will help her self-manage her health and share her health data with her family.
Peter is happy with his retirement and finds it fulfilling. Using a blood pressure monitor has become a part of his life, and he wants to take his blood pressure measurements on time. However, he needs to wear glasses to read the data, so large fonts and simple functions are very important to him.
