Ultrasound imaging machine
About
Competition
Competition
Organized by Sepanta; a leading medical equipment manufacturer; We invite industrial designers to participate in this creative challenge and share their vision for the next generation of our ultrasound imaging machine, UTAB_H1. At Sepanta, we believe great design improves healthcare experiences, for both the doctors and the patient. This design competition aims to gather innovative ideas for the design of a modern ultrasound device focusing on aesthetic appeal, usability, and ergonomics. Your creativity can help redefine the user experience, enhance diagnostic efficiency, and shape the future of medical imaging.
Participants must take the following aspects into account when developing their design concept:
- Safe Single-Person Mobility The device must be designed for safe, one-person transport within medical environments such as hospitals and clinics.
- Protection During Transport The design should minimize potential damage to sensitive components — including probes, probe cables, and the monitor — during movement or handling.
- Probe Connection and Placement
The device must provide three probe connection ports.
Probe holders and connectors should be securely positioned on the console, away from potential impact zones and user traffic areas. - Cable Management
Considering the probe cables are approximately two meters long, the design should include effective cable management to prevent pulling, twisting, or strain.
Cables should rest naturally on or within the device body and remain protected during transport. - Accessible Probe Replacement The probe connection points must be easily accessible to the operator, allowing for smooth probe changes during use.
- Ventilation and Airflow Integrate air inlets and outlets on the device body to ensure proper cooling and airflow for internal components.
- Adjustable Monitor and Console Both the monitor and control console should be height- and angle-adjustable, accommodating operators of different statures and working positions.
- Ergonomics and User Interaction Controls, interfaces, and handles must be positioned for intuitive access and comfortable use, minimizing operator fatigue during long procedures.
