Rapid Rhythm
Handheld ECG Device
brief
Together with biotech start-up Rapid Rhythm, we developed an intuitive medical device to improve the experience of taking ECG heart readings used to identify AF.
Test rigs were created to test the best performing mechanisms that could be used to easily release the pads, that remained on the patient, from the handheld device. We worked closely with electronics engineers throughout the project.
The first concept sketches were produced alongside aesthetic drawings. These sketches were quickly turned into schematic test rigs and SLS 3D printed ergonomic prototype models. These prototypes allowed us to test the feel & size of the device.
Once we developed the prototype and rigs, vigorous testing was carried out on the ergonomics of the device as well as its functionality. We had to ensure that it worked accurately as an ECG device, following medical guidelines and standards. The device needed to be easy to use and eliminate the existing setbacks of traditional ECG devices.
