Case Study: Bayer achieves a 50% usability boost with Areteworks' medical device UX design

Bayer boosts medical device usability 50% with Areteworks

Bayer, through its Medrad division, faced the challenge of designing a touchscreen interface for its flagship Mark 7 Arterion angiographic injection system that could match its advanced hardware. The interface needed to predict operator needs, inform the team without distracting from the procedure, and allow for real-time control during complex, phased injections. The vendor, Areteworks, was engaged to design this critical operator-facing UX.

Areteworks implemented a solution centered on a real-time timeline graph that previews injection phases and a visual hierarchy optimized for cath-lab conditions. This redesigned touchscreen UX achieved a 50% usability boost. In an independent survey of 125 customers, 97% rated the system's overall performance highly and were likely to recommend it, while 92% saw a clear advantage over their previous injector.
