Self-Service Hospital Kiosk

Self-Service Hospital Kiosk

Agfa Healthcare is globally renowned for innovation in Digital Health, Enterprise Imaging, Integrated Care and Hospital IT. The Drystar self-service kiosk will be installed in Chinese hospitals and delivers X-rays and medical reports directly to patients. Creanova’s designers supported Agfa HealthCare with the new medical kiosk design and in the development of its Medical User Interface.

User Centered Design

The design of Agfa HealthCare kiosk revolves around the analysis of the ergonomics: starting from the Chinese population percentiles, Creanova’s designers identified the best layouts in terms of usability and comfort to ensure all the patients can easily watch at the monitor and pick up X-rays.

The preliminary studies included the market research and the examination of Agfa Healthcare’s brand positioning and evolution.

The color choice was guided by Agfa’s brand identity and by the goal to make the user focused on the functional part: black is the color for the control panel (user interface, speakers, reports and X-rays withdrawal, QR code reader) in sharp contrast with the underlying white layer. The anthracite grey of the back container defines the technical part of the product, which remains separated from the functional one.

The concept Creanova landed on for the Drystar kiosk is characterized by soft lines, user friendliness and soft, rational, medical user centered design which make the kiosk a medical device which blends perfectly with the hospital environment.

Easy-to-use User Interface for the Chinese Population

The self-service kiosk by Agfa Healthcare is intended for all Chinese population and on this basis the healthcare user interface was designed to meet several levels of education, different ages and attitude towards technology.

The medical UI leads the users step-by-step to the printing of X-rays and medical reports: the user interface drives the patient in the QR code scanning, then it communicates if the medical material is available and provides printing waiting times.

All the wizard leverages a basic language and animations, which represent the operations the user has to execute.
