DINAMAP Vital Signs Monitor

Farm developed a low cost vital signs monitor for GE Healthcare, featuring the exceptional DINAMAP technology that would integrate into their existing line without impacting the sales of its current, higher-end products. Through extensive usability research and field studies, a highly intuitive user interface was created that replaced the multi-menu structure that’s typically found in the monitor market. As a result, users can access information quickly, allowing them to spend less time checking vitals and more time on actual patient care. Large, bright displays were integrated enabling precise observation from anywhere in the room. Other features include an easy to grasp handle for carrying, strategically grouped feature sets and versatile mounting options to meet the demands of the wide variety of use cases and healthcare environments.

Cardiology Research

Farm led a major research effort that consisted of a two-phase approach for GE Healthcare’s cardiology group. In the first phase, Farm identified and mapped product features for GE’s next generation of cardiology equipment for North American and European markets. The research results produced a product line roadmap including recommended product features and price points for future products. The second phase was to understand the underlying cultural factors and skill sets impacting the usability and purchase of electrocardiographs in the North American and Japanese markets. Farm conducted usability and preference tests using interactive prototypes the Farm team developed specifically for this purpose. Key results identified the primary user interface approach and feature set for GE Healthcare’s next generation products as well as led to many other discoveries regarding product strategy, culture and distribution.
