Our design recommendations from observation and analysis were geared towards sample acquisition and analysis.  Our design phase included UI design and specification for instrument configuration, sample management, acquisition, analysis and study management.

All designs were reviewed by the heads of engineering and product management along with scientific review by researchers.

The acquisition dashboard UI effectively incorporates multiple controls onto single interface ffor simplified monitoring and task management.

The plate UI design combines two interaction types into a single interface (Setup and Acquisition).  We use effective data visualization for enhancing salient information.  This allows BD customers to filter out and omit unnecessary data on a task by  task basis.

We took an an iterative approach starting with high level concepts and trying out a variety of methods before arriving at the final designs.  Following BD standards, we reviewed the design iterations with their internal scientists.

We analyzed the feedback and revised the designs until they were finalized for implemented by the engineering team.

Key marketing and software engineering stakeholders were involved in the design process from brainstorming through review of detailed designs. Prior to delivering the designs to the development team, there were multiple refine/evaluate iterations as technical feasibility was tested and validated.

The engagement did not end with the delivery of our designs to the development team. We worked closely with the engineers answering design questions or making necessary adjustments to the interface. Our project work with the BD Bioscience team was highly collaborative through the development and QA sprints.
