The problem
A relieved healthcare system that focuses on early disease detection requires the measurement of vital parameters, which has long proven to be a valuable tool.
However, in reality, many of these parameters, despite their relevance are barely or only selectively recorded. The reasons are staff shortages, time pressure, and limited resources.
The objective
Unprecedented today, patients should be able to correctly collect their own vital parameters, relieving pressure off medical staff.

Context: Mobile Medical Bus
Vitalvision is a securely installed measurement station designed for mobile medical contexts. The station simultaneously captures relevant vital parameters. The mobile health station is currently used by the DB to reach remote cities and serves as a quick reaction force to provide urgent healthcare needs.
Finding the simplest interaction
Discovering and evaluating the design guidelines of inclusivity, user experience, hygiene and perceives and actual measuring precision led to optical mounted solutions.
More time for human contact
In only three steps patients can measure their vital parameters themselves. With simple and clear interactions patients rest with peace of mind until the measurement is completed. The gained time enables follow-up meetings with the doctors for professional evaluation and human interaction.
For 15-99 years
The station operates for a range of body sizes. The animated interface intuitively guides users gazes to the correct position to complete the measurement process.
Easy maintenance
Modular and simple assemblies allow fast maintenance and longevity.
