Project Lotus – Next generation NICU
In their presentation Philips Design Director Alex Tan and Senior Experience Lead David Ruthven walk us through the project „Lotus” – winner of the “UX Design Award | Gold” in 2020.
About the Project: Lotus – Next generation NICU
UX Design Award | Gold 2020
Lotus is a solution for Neonatal Integrative Developmental Care (NICU). It is designed to help families and clinicians provide care that is personalized and in line with the NICU model. It collects and synthesizes information across devices and systems into one intuitive interface. This interface visualizes the holistic status of the baby, helps medics make critical decisions and coordinate care between family and clinical teams to improve outcomes.
Jury Statement:
»With the understanding that 12 percent of births worldwide are premature and bear long-term effects through poor neonatal care, the jury views the Next generation NICU as a significant advancement to protecting infant and family's physical, psychological and emotional state improving outcomes and mitigating health problems.«
