Usability & Style

Combining aesthetics and usability

The quality of high-tech equipment is increasingly being measured by the extent to which it meets user requirements. The objective is to create a design that corresponds to the zeitgeist, meets aesthetic and technical requirements and focuses on usability.

At WILD, usability experts are involved in the development process from the very start. They ensure that attention is given to the user-product interface in terms of efficiency and ease of operation. Thanks to its proven Usability Engineering concept, WILD makes sure that the actual usage requirements are identified and suitable solutions are found. The services it provides range from requirement analysis and concept in the form of design models and operating procedures to the assembling of design and function modules and support in usability verification.

The ultimate result is an optimised system that can be operated safely and intuitively. In medical technology in particular, this user experience has become a prerequisite for registration and thus an absolute necessity.

In addition, the experts at WILD keep up to date with the latest European regulations (MDR – Medical Device Regulation and IVDR – In-Vitro Diagnostic Device Regulation) which put an enormous emphasis on the issue of usability. WILD thus offers a service package that helps customers make their products MDR-compliant, e.g. by compiling the documentation requirements or supporting them with the risk analysis and validation of production processes.

 

Safe and easy use

How well a product can be adjusted to the users‘ demands is demonstrated by the Biochemistry Analyzer, an all-in-one device for in-vitro diagnostics. For the first time, it was possible to separate the user and process areas in a compact tabletop device, making operation both easier and safer. In conventional devices, users must manually intervene in the hazardous analysis area, exposing them to infection risks. The Biochemistry Analyser, however, can independently carry out up to 400 individual measurements per hour and automatically stores data and status information directly into the laboratory database. A camera system identifies the sample containers and evaluates the barcode data, thus reducing sample mix-ups by the user to a minimum.

From an aesthetic point of view, the Biochemistry Analyser stands out with clear, sleek shapes and structures. Even the graphical user interface has been reduced to a minimum. Clear contrasts and shapes ensure that the device can be securely used even under stress.
