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.
