The DeepView Solution project, in collaboration with Spectral MD, represented one of Speck Design's most comprehensive and ambitious undertakings. This groundbreaking initiative focused on developing a revolutionary medical imaging device. The project spanned advanced electrical engineering, sophisticated AI algorithms, and a user-centric design ethos. Resulting in the DeepView Solution, a non-invasive imaging platform, this endeavor set new standards in wound care diagnostics, combining rapid, precise predictive healing insights with real-world clinical applicability. It showcased our commitment to integrating technological innovation with deep user empathy in medical technology.
Our user research team undertook an extensive study to deeply understand the clinical environments and the specific challenges faced by healthcare professionals. This involved immersive studies in various clinical settings, interviews with medical staff, and an analysis of the workflow in wound care and treatment. The goal was to gather critical insights into how the DeepView® technology could be best utilized in real-world scenarios, ensuring it aligns seamlessly with the daily routines of medical professionals and enhances their diagnostic capabilities.
The electrical engineering team at Speck Design played a critical role in integrating sophisticated imaging technology and AI algorithms into the DeepView® platform. This involved designing and developing complex electrical systems that could accurately capture and process medical images, supporting the AI's predictive model for wound healing. The focus was on creating a system that was not only highly accurate but also efficient in terms of image acquisition and processing time.
The mechanical engineering team focused on designing the DeepView® device to be both robust and ergonomic, suitable for the demanding environment of medical facilities. This included ensuring the device's imaging arm was capable of smooth articulation and agile rotation, necessary for over 180-degree movement across a patient's bed and body. Such mechanical precision was vital for the device’s functionality in various clinical situations.
Our industrial design team was tasked with creating a form for the DeepView® that was visually balanced and conveyed stability, an essential aspect in medical settings. The design process involved a careful consideration of the device's physical interaction with users, ensuring that it was intuitive and comfortable to use. This included designing a single-axis rotating screen for easy viewing and a four-point wheelbase for stable grounding.
The digital design team's objective was to create an interface for the DeepView® that complemented its AI-driven diagnostic capabilities. This involved designing a user-friendly digital interface that could display the AI's predictive results in a clear and concise manner. The focus was on making the technology accessible and understandable to medical professionals, enabling them to make informed decisions based on the AI's 'Day One' healing assessments.
