PROJECT NAME
CLOVER; New IV System
PROJECT CATEGORY
Product Design, UX/UI
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
CLOVER is a new IV system for hospitalised patients and professional nurses to enhance their physical and mental happiness.
The goal is to completely revolutionise the current laborious system of an IV. This system effects both nurse and patient, focusing on how to improve their experience while interacting with the product and system.
The design of both a physical and virtual solutions are complete. Afterward, both solutions are synchronised to complete one perfect system.
The “Fail and Learn” process is done to prove that the concept is feasible. Physically building the mock-ups and facing the unexpected problems helps the process to be defectless.
Wait! What is IV?
IV. It stands for “Intravenous”. IV is also known as “Intravenous therapy”. It is the infusion of liquid substances directly into a vein. Intravenous simply means "within vein". Therapies administered intravenously are often included in the designation of specialty drugs.
IV is the Symbol of Illness
IV is a device that allows the patient to get a direct medication through vein. It is commonly used for various circumstances. However, design wise, the current IV is the worst. It provides physically and psychologically uncomfortable for both patient and nurse and the HMI (human - machine interaction) is terrible. Also the look and behaviour of IV is totally against the hospitals’ goal.
Ideal User Experience for IV Patient & Nurse
IV is commonly used for almost every cases. However most of the long term IV users are post surgery patients. The above diagram is a post surgery scenario flow chart. Each stages requires different tasks to fulfill the user’s ideal experience. Apparantly two different users, nurse and patient, interact with IV simultaneously. It was necessary to observe the best user experience for both nurse and patient.
New Generation IV, CLOVER
CLOVER is a new IV system for hospitalised patients and professional nurses to enhance their physical and mental happiness. The name CLOVER is inspired from the plant clover, which has the meaning of luck. What patients need the most in the cold and desolate hospital is probably a close friend. CLOVER wants to be their close partner and help them to regain their strength.
Easy and Intuitive Infostructure
CLOVER helps the intimacy between the nurse and patient. It provides a system that nurses can easily access into patient’s voice. This prevents the nurses from making a mistake or forgetting any important medical information. Now the nurses in hospital no need to be stressed out with complicate and unorganised documents anymore.
