A DESIGN

Language

& System

An exploration and new direction for CareFusion software.

New design guidelines in four weeks.

EVOLVED WITH A PURPOSE

Our goal was not to completely reinvent the design, but to evolve it with a purpose.

We created the foundations for a new design language that would improve the whole product line through refreshed and modernized visualizations and principles.

The design guidelines were created across three platforms, desktop (CQI Event Reporting), mobile (PAA Mobile), and device (Infusion Pump Embedded). This provided examples for future improvements on any of the customer's products.

CREATING

ATTRIBUTES

We created the attributes and principles to guide the new designs across all of the user touch points.

CONTEXTUAL

MOOD BOARDS

We made mood boards to highlight the proposed styles and help visualize the concepts for product improvement.

POWERFUL

TYPOGRAPHY

We made the products more legible and easier to understand with clearer type and stronger information hierarchy.

EXPLORING

NEW VISUALs

We unified the products through the creation of a strong icon family that could be used globally across the product suite, at different scales.

REFRESHED

PALETTE

We chose colors that made the visual information clearer, more approachable, and less alarming.

LIGHTER

MODERN UI

We created a UI that was more intuitive across platforms, and efficient to build.

We outlined clearer actionable areas, without extra elements, for better usability.

We improved the interaction model with larger target areas and clearer selection states for better accuracy.

IMMEDIATE

RESULTS

Our short project created an immediate and long-term impact.

We created a vision for a unified product platform that laid the groundwork for the design language and system in use today.

The new designs also provided benefits to the business by creating industry buzz and helping CareFusion maintain their position as an industry leader.
