C.H.A.S. App
(Comprehensive Health Assessment System)
Client: DMI
DMI (DNA Medicine Institute) is a Cambridge based research company dedicated to the innovation of medical technology.
C.H.A.S is an application for Windows mobile devices, designed to serve as user interface for the rHEALTH Tricorder technology, a self-diagnosing solution designed for the QUALCOMM TRICORDER XPRIZE competition.
The autonomous diagnosis solution entails the use of a breadth of tools and the performance of intricate procedural progressions. The design therefore appealed to iconography and sobriety to achieve clarity. The testing sessions proved the design to be self-explanatory and instructional.
The Challenge
- Continuous monitoring and realtime displaying of vital signs (5): blood pressure, body core temperature, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and respiratory rate.
- Allow people with no medical training to self-diagnose for a breath of conditions: COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Desease), anemia, diabetes, HEP A, HIV, shingles, stroke, UTI.
- Clarity and intuitiveness. The use of animation, illustration, and video, allowed for more comprehensible procedures and task required from the user.

The application was thought-out to make the continuous-vital-signs-live-data screen (
Conveying the idea - pre-UX prototyping tools era
Adobe Illustrator was the technical tool used to convey the app architecture to the creative and development teams.
