Background
GasN2 is a Spanish enterprise operating with air in different sectors: automotrive, chemistry, alimentary and more. They recently entered on the medical sector, in response to the pandemic, and they present us with the challenge of designing their new medical ventilator. Once a purely funtional device, with the pneumatic and electric system already designed, the aim of this project is to achieve synergy between aesthetics, user experience and functionality.
Research
Benchmarking is a crucial step in the design process. While prioritizing user-centric design, it was imperative to firsthand understand the perspectives of doctors and identify pain points within the user journey. Intensive care workers, such as Julian Berrade, IC head at the Sant Joan de Déu hospital, provided valuable insights to initiate the conceptualization of our design.
Design process
The design was primarily shaped by the enterprise requirements and the findings of the UX study. During the sketching phase, we set the mainly objectives to:
Create a modern and ergonomic design that prioritizes screen visibility.
Offer adaptability to both vertical and horizontal poles.
Feature easy handling for rapid response situations.
Accommodate all pneumatic and electronic components while optimizing its size.
Isolate completely pneumatics from the electronics.
