Creating a system of applications to monitor critical indicators for cardiac patients
Creating a system of applications to monitor critical indicators for cardiac patients
Lifesignals developed a single use wearable biosensor that records Electrocardiography, Heart Rate, Respiration Rate, Skin Temperature and Body Posture data for up to six days.
I was tasked to design their introduction to the digital market with an intelligent monitoring system that could help healthcare practitioners to monitor real-time values of patient-generated health data (PGHD) continuously.

Remote Monitoring Web App
Context
The wireless transmission of data, gathered through Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) can be utilised for in-hospital monitoring as well as post-discharge monitoring. This dashboard based platform for continuous surveillance can be used by clinical practitioners, administrators and care givers that enables them to promptly respond to any anomalies in the patient's condition, ensuring timely and appropriate care.

Core Functionality
Built to replace a clinician’s convoluted workflow, that platform was designed as a solution focussed on efficiency, convenience and accessibility. The overall goal was to relieve the staff of anxiety in the wards and increase their productivity be reducing manual interventions.

DASHBOARD DESIGN
Designed with clarity and simplicity as the focus, reducing cognitive load and confusion by limiting the options and enabling clinicians to respond in seconds.
At a glance, care providers can find the patient's ID (e.g., bed number), name, and the vital sign that crossed the threshold. The visual hierarchy of the components is critical, ensuring that the most important information is immediately evident.

ALERT AND EVENTS
The alert system was designed to inform without overwhelming. Different levels of colors were used to indicate different levels of urgency, helping healthcare providers to quickly identify and prioritize the most critical alerts.
Additionally, the system allowed for custom alerts to be created for each patient, giving providers a control center for each individual under their care.

ROLE BASED ACCESS & CONTROL PANEL
Modularly conceptualised, it is highly configurable and integrates with any hospital EHR, making it scalable to establishments of all sizes. It allows for seamless switching between different logins, without disrupting the user experience.

Testing and Feedback
In UAT, the design was easy to adopt and intuitive, allowing new care providers to begin using the platform to its full capacity in just a few minutes.
The dark theme was preferred by practitioners in hospitals, as it is easier on the eyes in the different lighting conditions of hospitals and nursing homes. Alerts were made more prominent with colors synonymous to alerts.

Context
The wearable patch is prescribed to patients who experience cardiac abnormalities. The patch is worn for a week to allow healthcare providers or hospitals to monitor their vitals.
The patient could be anyone, from those in recovery to those suspecting an underlying heart condition.

Design System
The design system complies with medical certification guidelines. The app's navigation is linear, and its components are consistent and modular, making it scalable to meet various institutional requirements. The visual language is simple and tweaked to adhere to certification standards.
Impact
The platform received multiple regulatory clearances across the globe.It has been deployed globally in over 56+ hospitals saving lives and preventing over clinical decline cases. It was deployed during COVID 19 for home-monitoring.
