State-of-the-art application interface design improves product usability and reinforces promise of excellence

the CHALLENGE

Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for healthcare to lag behind other industries in terms of technology. Often times, providers have to settle with using (or trying to use) old, out-dated legacy systems that are cumbersome and far from user-friendly. Philips Healthcare needed a serious update to its critical care and anesthesia application suite, which had a dated and cluttered interface.

the SOLUTION

PointClear developed both usability recommendations and visual design enhancements, focusing on key areas such as the census and flow sheet. A restructuring of the application framework made it easier to navigate and provide intuitive contextual controls. The visual design modernized and simplified the interface and made it consistent with Philips’ branding.
