Unique Properties
This handle is designed for AI cell morphology inspection system, aiming to enhance medical staff efficiency and reduce fatigue in a more accurate, reliable, and user-friendly way. Low latency and precise control are ensured by connecting directly to the microscope rather than using software. The design combines a single-handed grip with intuitive, fluid interaction, meeting the need to operate the computer simultaneously and reducing healthcare worker fatigue.
Dimensions & Packaging
120mm×130mm×166mm
Tags
Microscopic Control Handle, single-handed , user-friendly, convenient Interaction
Production Technology
ABS injection molding. Silver - gray metal spray painting.
Design Challenge
The core challenge of the project is how to integrate tri-axis control within limited space, ensuring independent and non-interfering operation of XY and Z axes. In addition, the ergonomic design is also a challenge with the need for microscope precision and stability. The design of the handle also needs to harmonize the comfort and aesthetics of the medical device to create an innovative product that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Research
Cell morphology testing is crucial in disease diagnosis. Through communication with pathologists and technicians, we found the traditional microscope operation cumbersome and inefficient, limiting AI system performance. Additionally, intelligent microscopes with software introduce latency and store unscreened data, wasting resources. This project effectively integrates pathologists' real needs into the microscope control handle design, improving operational efficiency.
Inspiration
Traditional microscopes present cumbersome operation in cellular morphology examination, hindering AI system efficiency. To optimize workflow and reduce operator fatigue, this control handle integrates tri-axis movement into a single-handed design. Furthermore, direct connection to the microscope ensures low latency and precise human-machine collaboration. Speed control is achieved through intuitive joystick offset, providing a more user-friendly and simplified interaction.
Project Duration
The project started in July 2024 in Beijing and finished in January 2025 in Beijing.
Operation Flow
The control handle can be directly connected to the microscope within the AI Inspection System, with an indicator light showing the data transfer status between the microscope and the computer. The symmetrical design does not limit the user's dominant hand. While holding the handle, the thumb and index finger naturally rest on the joystick, enabling easy operation of the microscope stage's tri-axis movement. The speed increases as the joystick is offset further.
