Patient Monitor
01 — Overview
Project Overview & Fast Facts
In an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), physicians and nurses evaluate critically ill patients under constant stress. Traditional bedside monitors scatter vital signals, infusion rates, and renal output across separate hardware screens or nested sub-menus, forcing clinicians to mentally piece data together while dealing with non-stop nuisance alarms.
This project unifies four critical physiological modalities: Primary Vitals, Smart IV Infusions, BP/MAP, and Renal Excretion; onto a single, zero-scroll landscape viewport. By embedding international medical safety standards directly into the UI architecture, the system reduces cognitive fatigue and speeds up clinical decision-making.

02 — Challenges
Key Clinical Challenges Addressed
01
Cognitive Overload
Physiological metrics exist in isolated hardware silos, forcing clinicians to manually cross-reference data under pressure.
02
Alarm Fatigue
Misuse of yellow/amber warning states for routine readings desensitises clinicians, leading to delayed emergency responses.
03
Medication Label Truncation
Small UI cards truncate critical drug names (e.g., Amiodarone...), violating usability guidelines and risking lethal mix-ups.
04
Distance Legibility Gaps
Primary vitals cannot be reliably read from across the room (1-3 meters) during rapid room entry assessments.

I would be glad to discuss the design decisions, clinical considerations, and safety trade-offs behind this project during an interview.
