Medical Device — Designed Growth

My portfolio expands across device, service, and software design. I specialize in understanding business goals, empathizing with stakeholders, and creating exceptional functional designs in any complex context.

Please take an in-depth look at my UX projects:

Medical Device Design - Catether Technology

Problem: A procedure to gain access to the abdominal cavity required two devices and a complicated exchange during the process. Our solution combined those device functions (puncture & dilation) into one device elminating the need for exchange and making the procedure safer, faster, and easier.

My Role: User Researcher, Product Designer

Worked with: Internal & External Engineers

Prototype Device

CAD File & Engineering specs were translated into a functional prototype. Eventually licensed to Edison Nation Medical.

Computer Aided Design

Imported Engineering specs and requirements into Solidworks to provide graphical mock up.

Information Architecture

Created engineering drawings & iterated on device features with engineers. Main accomplishment was realizing balloon inflation diameter should maximize while achieving a small overall diameter -- key feature that created value.

UX Strategy & User Research

UX Strategy

- Mapped procedure and stakeholder goals (patient, payer, physician)

- Concept to combine two devices making a procedure safer, faster, and easier

User-Research

- Uncovered physician behaviors and current product constraints

- Communicated with physicians and learned procedure, product constraints, and physician mindset at each step in the process (why they are taking the actions they are in the process)

- Understood true goals of the technology and procedure and developed product goals for favorable product attributes (large balloon diameter while maintaining 3.2mm catheter diameter).

- Developed new procedure flow with combination product
