Overview

An occupational vibration meter is a device used to measure the levels of vibration an employee is receiving during the work journey.

The problem

protechX is a company that produces occupational hygiene measurement devices. The project is a new, updated version of their vibration meter, now with a cross-platform solution.

My role

Full time solo UX/UI Designer.

Time scope

Around 6-8months.

Tools used

Figma, product discovery, competitors benchmarking, user research, features analysis, blueprint, sitemap, low-fidelity wireframes

Product research

The biggest challenge was understanding what a vibration meter is and how it works. Due to the frenetic environment of a startup, I had to do a lot of independent research on the application. Learning what data is relevant for occupational vibration measurements, the impacts of prolonged exposure to vibration levels on the human body, and the different types of vibration measurements, among other things.

Benchmarking

Both independently and with guidance from the engineering team, I worked on an extensive competitor benchmarking of similar devices and their integrated platforms. It allowed me to explore different user journeys and highlight aspects of each I deemed valuable.

Features analysis

Once I had a pretty good grasp of what the product was and what it needed, I listed the features I judged most important with the help of my leadership and the engineering team and compared them to the ones the existing version of the product already had. Then, I divided them into four categories: Keep, Add, Rethink, and Eliminate.
