| DESIGN NAME: CardioGraphe PRIMARY FUNCTION: Ct Scanner INSPIRATION: The design of a medical device is meant to reduce emotion, calm down the patient and create tranquility and serenity. We asked how the design can emanate the uniqueness and ingenuity of this technology. The configuration of one panel and a screen (as opposed to the orthodox two panels and a screen) offered a unique opportunity for an asymmetrical design. Asymmetry will usually create a dynamic look and will evoke drama. We spent a lot of effort looking for the right amount of v UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Arineta has developed a CT scanner aimed specifically at 3D heart mapping. It is the first of its kind in the world. The heart is moving constantly, and unlike breathing, no one can control the heart and stop it at will, to achieve accurate imaging. The scanner emits radiation from two directions simultaneously, while focusing solely on the heart. It does it in a sixth of a second, which produces an accurate 3D image of the heart. The device is much smaller than most of the CT scanner OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The requirement was to have only one control panel and use the same one on both sides. The panel is used to direct the patient exactly into the desired position in space. The movements are along three axes. Right and left, in and out are the opposite when you switch sides. We used the fact that patients are always led into the scanner head first, face up. The solution is simple and allows intuitive orientation – all the movements relate to the patient's body. The panel presents the patient's body from side and plan view, and the buttons are part of the body. The operator knows exactly where the patient is going to move to. This design had acquired a patent, and created a unique non-technical look, not to say human. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: three years.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: most of the covers are made of reinforced fibre glass, with some details in rapid prototyping ABS finished by hand SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: height 1800mm width 1780mm depth 2764mm TAGS: - RESEARCH ABSTRACT: - CHALLENGE: Can the design emanate the uniqueness, sophistication and ingenuity of this technology and its impact on life saving and prevention of further health deterioration? Most of the CT scanners have two control panels on their gantry, for right and left use. This gantry is so compact, you can have only one control panel, but you need one on each side. The requirement was to reduce the number of control panels to a minimum, and use the same one on both sides. How can you use the same panel on both sides, when only up and down stay the same?
