Inter-cardiac echocardiography (ICE) is used in non-invasive<\/strong> interventions to provide high-resolution real-time visualization of cardiac structures<\/strong>, continuous monitoring of catheter location within the heart with the ultrasound technology. Since it does not Harm the persons in the lab like the C-arm method using X-ray technology, the efforts put into developing ICE is increasing. Therefore it was important to draw a future vision for what ICE catheter can and should become in the cath lab(1)<\/strong>,<\/em>\u00a0and I took on the challenge to do so during my time at Philips.<\/span><\/p>\n The insights used to develop the final product has drawn from extensive research done in the US prior to my work. The project consisted of mainly 3 blocks; drawing insights from the research and defining touch-points based on the task analysis map<\/strong> created; ideation, prototyping, and testing on main functionality; and execution of the final look and feel. <\/span><\/p>\n Usability<\/strong> was the main focus of the project, providing physicians a clear mind map when they are operating the catheter position and orientation inside of the patient. Besides usability, the final result also offers novel solutions in other problem areas: integration of the device<\/strong> to the cath lab system, ease in sterile setup<\/strong>, giving full control to the physician<\/strong>s when it comes to ECHO(2)<\/em><\/strong> settings, and high-cost aspect of such an advanced single-use product<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n It is one of the projects that I am the most satisfied with the result; thanks to my amazing mentors who provided every resource I needed for this project and their valuable feedback.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”60″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”1″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_separator][vc_empty_space empty_h=”0″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”p” text_size=”fontsize-160000″ text_weight=”200″](1) An examination room in a hospital or clinic with diagnostic imaging equipment used to visualize the arteries of the heart and the chambers of the heart.<\/span><\/em>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”p” text_size=”fontsize-160000″ text_weight=”200″](2) An echocardiogram (echo) is a graphic outline of the heart’s movement.
