Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Luna is designed with every user in mind. The full-touch control panel makes it possible to customize the interface for fitting up to 5 different user's specific needs. Its instruction allows for the upgrade of the hardware system without having replaced the entire device. Each part can be maintained separately, without affecting the whole system. The probe holders can be shifted overbased on the intensity of probes usage. the device is optimized to tolerate shipping and environmental damages.
- Inspiration
- Luna is an ultrasound system designed on the orders of Med Fanavaran Plus. The company requested a cost-effective Ultrasound that competes with worldwide models, meets the needs of Iranian society and is suitable for use in both large hospitals and small clinics. The aim was to design a market demand ultrasound device that has a unique identity and form matched with the corporate image.
- Research
- The collaborative design process engages users in a wide range of activities during the process of information gathering, creation, research, design, and evaluation. One of the most significant parts of the collaborative design process is the product feedback cycle, during which the output of each system or product designed as a prototype by real users is tested and evaluated in specific courses with members of the R&D team. And the feedback obtained is used in the redesign process. In the designing process of luna ultrasound, the feedback loop played an important role in redesigning the whole device to reach the best possible solution.
- Realization and Technology
- The device's internal metal structure makes it stronger and allows it to be upgraded with less money and time wasted.
- Operation and Interaction
- Luna uses a deep-learning system, AI, and AR to improve the efficiency of medical imaging systems. Due to its full-touch control panel, it can be customized by changing the size and location of buttons or minimizing those that aren't required. The separatable transducer receptacles provide two options with two or four transducers based on the customer's order. The arm’s up/down mechanism enables height adjustment. the silicon probe-holders cups provide easy cleaning.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in January 2020 in Tehran and finished in November 2020 in Tehran
