OVERVIEW

The AccuVax Vaccine Management System ensures precise temperature control and improves patient safety. It streamlines workflows by automating dose tracking, error checks, and documentation. By dispensing the nearest-to-expire vaccines and locking out expired or recalled ones, AccuVax reduces waste and minimizes administration errors, making it an all-in-one solution for efficient vaccine management.

project DETAILS

Powell Design was engaged by our Industrial Design partner DDSTUDIO to design the next generation TruMed AccuVax Vaccine Management system. This was a fully integrated design project that included the collaborative design of both the hardware and software to create a seamless user experience. Our work included the design of the product user interface that began with extensive research that informed the fully touch-based user experience (UX). That touch UX was realized in a robust prototype (on a full-size mockup of the hardware with a working display) and then validated with nurses and nurse managers for the ideal workflow. Once the workflow was solidified, the look and feel UI concepts were created to elevate the brand. A single direction was chosen and then applied to the over 200 screens that make up the entire system.

highlights

  • Extensive research at various project stages with nurses who administer vaccines regularly as well as nurse managers who manage vaccine inventory. Insights and learnings were applied at each stage.
  • One-to-one Mapping of Vaccines in Respective Slots
  • Color on Display matches Color of Vaccine Cap
  • TruMed is now expanding the system to include non-chilled storage management.

scope

  • DISCOVERY

    Our in-person kickoff workshop, combined with remote collaboration with key stakeholders, ensures clear alignment on project goals and vision. Together, we review existing brand & product materials, map out essential user workflows, analyze the competitive landscape, and brainstorm ideas to set the stage for success.

  • UX ZONING

    For products like this one that integrate both hardware and software controls, ergonomic precision is key. We develop black & white wireframes to strategically 'zone' each screen element, ensuring buttons and controls are placed in optimal locations for ease of use and intuitive interaction.

  • UX WIREFRAMING

    At the core of our design process, wireframing serves as a blueprint for the digital experience. We create low-fidelity black & white layouts that map out the structure and functionality of each screen focusing on user flow, content placement, and key interactions. This step allows us to iterate quickly, validate ideas, and ensure a seamless user experience before moving into visual design and development.

  • UX PROTOTYPING

    Prototyping transforms static screens into interactive models. This step allows us to simulate user flows, test interactions, and validate the design's functionality. By creating clickable prototypes, we can gather feedback, refine details, and ensure that the user experience is intuitive and seamless.

  • USER RESEARCH

    The heart of our design process is user research, where we gather deep insights into user behaviors, needs, and pain points through methods like interviews, surveys, and usability testing. This research informs every design decision, ensuring that our solutions are intuitive and user-friendly. By understanding our users, we create products that resonate, engage, and deliver meaningful experiences.

  • UI CONCEPTS

    UI concepts bring the visual identity of the product to life. We create 2-3 unique concepts that each explore color, typography, iconography, and overall aesthetics to craft interfaces that are not only visually engaging but also aligned with the brand.

  • UI SCREEN DESIGN

    After finalizing the visual direction, we design each screen of the user interface focusing on pixel-perfect execution. Every detail, from spacing and typography to buttons and animations, is crafted to enhance the user experience. Our goal is to ensure that each screen is not only visually cohesive but also intuitive and easy to navigate—translating the initial concepts into fully realized, interactive designs that are ready for development.

  • DESIGN SYSTEM

    Our final step in the process is to create a Design System that ensures consistency and scalability including: a library of reusable UI components, guidelines for typography, color, iconography, and interaction patterns. By standardizing these elements, we streamline the design process, enabling faster iterations and ensuring that all future work remains aligned with the brand—creating a cohesive user experience across all platforms.
