User Interface Design for Hemodialysis
Machine SWS - 6000

TASK

SWS is a national high-tech company that manufactures dialysis machines, blood purification consumables and operates dialysis centers. The organization is dedicated to providing comprehensive medical solutions for patients with chronic kidney disease. SWS commissioned the design of the user interface for the SWS-6000 product. This dialysis machine is used in conjunction with dialyzers and other filters and is used in cases of chronic kidney failure.

  • Design of the graphical user interface with corporate characteristics.

SERVICES

  • User logic adjustment and confirmation

  • Wireframing and prototyping

  • User interface trial version

  • Definition of a UX design language that matches the corporate identity

  • User interface design

  • Continuous support during implementation

Finding an Excellent

Experience

The customer requested an update of the outdated user interface,
focusing on both the operating logic and visual design. In addition,
the user experience was significantly enhanced and a consistent
visual design language established across the entire device series.

Project Research UX Strategy

yimumu visited hospitals and dialysis centers where SWS tools are
most frequently used to conduct interviews with nurses, doctors, and
various other professionals. The stakeholders' comments on using the
device were documented to identify problems and needs specific to
their professions. In the next step, the problems were prioritized with
the goal of ensuring better future solutions for the operating logic and
the user experience for nursing staff.

The interface is complex. Consider integrating similar functions such as setting information
There are too many and complicated setting categories, which are hardly used in normal operations
The way of adjusting values is complex. I'd prefer to use a numeric keypad
The information displayed on the entire interface is too cluttered and abundant. Only the most important functions should be displayed.
Some fonts are a bit small, and the design style is not ideal

PROVIDE A BETTER
USER EXPERIENCE

UX Process

PAIN RELIEVERS
GAIN CREATORS

Simplify and Highlight Key Points

Simplify the main interface

Customize frequently - used items and collapse infrequently - used ones

Standardize preparation, treatment parameters, and parameter settings

……

Clarify the Steps

Optimize and adjust the layout

Set up prompt - type operations and clarify the necessary operation steps

Optimize the way for entering values

……

New UI Design Style

Unify the visual language

Make the interactive states clear

Adapt the visual language to the
company's DNA

……

The operating logic was then restructured and the process optimized.

yimumu optimized the architecture by clarifying functional modules, highlighting important information, and adding quick access points.

This has enhanced the convenience of user operations and gained recognition through follow - up visits.
Moreover, the proportionate functional zoning ensures a clear surface layout.

UI Visual Design

A new look for SWS-6000

Three-dimensional curves were the inspiration for the design. Rounded corners, brightness contrasts, and
shadows were integrated throughout the user interface to give the device surface a simple, new texture.
yimumu emphasized hierarchical processing to make the interactive states more explicit.
