Proton therapy has many advantages. It effectively targets cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissue and organs. But the experience isn't particularly easy on stressed patients. That's why when ProNova decided to design a more accessible version of the equipment, they came to us to help design the patient and technician experience.
We designed the overall experience including system aesthetics, general room layout, and information architecture of treatment interfaces, with the goals of increasing efficiency, accuracy and throughput.To begin, our team interviewed patients and technicians, observed treatment at several centers, and were trained on an existing proton therapy system. This culminated in a procedure workflow that identified improvement opportunities. The team continuously refined the workflow throughout the development process. To test our ideas, we brought technicians into a life-sized treatment suite prototype, going through scenarios for several types of procedures using interface concepts on computer and paper.
For patient comfort, we designed a more intimate treatment room that features a partially obscured nozzle that lessens the sense of the equipment's scale. Every piece of equipment that a technician or patient sees or touches has a modern, simple cover. The ceiling awning is strategically placed so a patient can watch a projected video during treatment to help the time pass.
For technicians, we designed an elegant control pendant, console and single-action snout clamp. Digitally, we defined the workflow for each type of patient treatment and created the information architecture for the five touchpoints used during the procedure. Working with ProNova’s software team, we designed the process and the accompanying screens. We created the user-friendly, information-rich visual design of all digital interfaces. This includes the treatment room projections that communicate procedure status to increase technician efficiency.

SplitFit was founded by three childhood friends who saw an opportunity to revolutionize personal training. Having been in the fitness industry for years they realized that between noon and 5pm gyms typically have unbooked trainers on staff who are being paid to wait until their next session. By building an easy way for people to find and book these trainers people would be able to access training at a lower price point while still generating additional revenue for the gym.SplitFit came to us with only an idea. We started day one with a design sprint to validate their idea. By the end of week one we conducted our first round of user testing and interviews.We created a prototype that was built in Xcode. This let users run the prototype on their iPhone. They were able to set preferences, build profiles and use the keyboard as they would normally with any other app. We caught issues much earlier and more accurately than we would have with a traditional prototyping approach (creating a prototype with hotspots and images).The outcome of the first week was incredibly successful. The prototype and business idea was well received. We confidently moved forward knowing that we conducted an initial round of user testing. We started to build out and refine wireframes for each of the designed user flows.
The first version of the product was shipped and in the hands of users just two months from the start date of our engagement. This included the ability for a user to join a pool (the buyouts feature came later).
The initial release was piloted with the CIC (Cambridge Innovation Center, a large office space just blocks from the pilot gym). This allowed us to have real testers in a controlled environment. We were able to gather feedback from customers as well as trainers.

Conformis develops and manufactures custom knee and hip joint replacements. They wanted an app that enabled surgeons to access pre-operative plans (iViews) for their upcoming hip or knee cases, as well as expose other surgeons to Conformis content. The Conformis team and The Gnar Company kicked off the work with a Design and Discovery project to define the user personas, user journey, and key app features. The discovery workshop was followed by designing the mobile app screens and creating a click-through demo consistent with the Conformis brand. The Gnar Company built the Conformis iViewer with React Native and launched in the Apple App Store optimized for both phone and tablet. The app enables Conformis surgeons to review knee and hip iViews anywhere, access Conformis surgical technique videos, contact their local sales rep or Conformis customer service, and send invitations to colleagues to download the app. Non-Conformis surgeons can create an account to access sample iViews and other Conformis content, as well as contact their local sales rep to learn more. The Gnar integrated the mobile app with Conformis's internal ordering platform for authentication and access to surgical iViews.

Intention
To develop an intuitive but highly-efficient management system with a feature-rich user interface (UI) and advanced user experience (UX).

The platform was supposed to be extremely convenient to use encouraging employees to automate their business processes, use system on daily basis, and share their positive experience with other employees. In such a way, the owner’s business will become more rational and profitable. Moreover, all the works Perfectial has been in charge of were performed under tight deadlines.
Solution
