Turning complex equipment states into a clear touchscreen interface

Italray asked duskodesign to develop the graphical interface for a radiology control console. The challenge was not simply to redesign a screen, but to organise a dense system of patient, examination, radiation and equipment movement information into an interface that could be understood at a glance.

The system also needed to adapt to different devices, configurations and operating conditions without losing consistency.

Designing the system before styling the screen

The work began with a detailed study of the requirements, an onsite examination of the equipment, user research and conversations with Italray’s product and technical team.

We mapped which information needed to remain visible, selectable, inactive or hidden across four principal console states, from examination selection to an open acquisition window. This established a clear hierarchy between primary actions, radiation parameters, mechanical movement controls, warnings and device status.

Information architecture and wireframes were then developed into a modular paper prototype. Movable elements made it possible to compare layouts and evaluate the relationships between controls, information and different equipment states before committing to the final visual design.

From paper prototype to implemented equipment

The final interface uses a restrained visual system in which primary information, radiation data and mechanical movements are clearly differentiated. Active controls, selectable information and unavailable functions are organised through three distinct visibility levels.

The system was also designed to support different console formats, horizontal and vertical layouts, multilingual content, standardised radiology icons, warnings, error states and different equipment configurations.

Following iterative review and fine tuning with the Italray team, the final interface assets and implementation specifications were prepared for production. The resulting touchscreen system was implemented on Italray radiological equipment.

Role

duskodesign led the requirements analysis, user research, information architecture, wireframing, paper prototyping, UI design, interface system development, iterative refinement and production handoff in close collaboration with Italray’s product and technical team.
