Fetal Doppler

Product design + design research

the problem.

the project.

the team.

The fetal doppler is a lifesaving tool for unborn babies and pregnant women alike. However, current fetal dopplers are dangerously uncomfortable for sonographers.

This was a 15 week studio project to redesign the fetal doppler to solve various ergonomic and funcitional issues .

This was an individual project under the instruction of the UC DAAP ID faculty. I could not have done the project without the guidance of my professors and classmates.

How might we design a fetal doppler for emergency medical care?

Portable
ergonomic
sensitive
design a portable fetal doppler for that can efficiently deliver quality care
create a solution that maintains the safety of the sonographer; design to eliminate the potential for injury
emotionally consider the experience for both the sonographer and the woman
