Device concept

The device concept was the second output. Ease of cleaning and reducing the possibility of bacteria build up were key concerns from the healthcare professionals. The concept addresses this by having no crevices and including a touch screen interface for easier cleaning. The screen is tilted at a 45° angle which enables the user to view at a comfortable angle with minimal strain. The base of the device features a small slot to enable sufficient ventilation of the technology as well as to provide a hand slot for ease of carrying. The cartridge is back-loaded, ensuring it can remain flat and easily fit into the device. The screen gives visual feedback to show the test is in progress as well as showing the final result.
