My Role
My Role
Individual Project
Outcome
Develop a portable product which is durable, lightweight and compact which has a premium look and feel.
Challenges
-
Make it trendy to blend with other daily products
-
Size no larger than a phone for easy handling
-
Similar functions to the existing glucometer
-
Ergonomic for better grip which gives confidence
Design Process
Using iterative design process to understand problem and solve them in cyclic patten until satisfied.

Ideation & Form Model Testing
Develop product through iterative method of alternating between conceptualizing and developing form models.


Technical Layout, Material & Product Rendering
Upgrade value of glucometer by giving users more color, material and finish variation to choose from and to suit the modern market trends.


My Takeaway / Learnings
-
Always start with the details before making a final prototype.
-
De-attach yourself from the goal and then analyze insights.
-
Test the materials’ finish with the user as well.
