Abstract:
This paper presents the methodologies and the systematic approaches in the industrial design development process
to incorporate aesthetic and affective elements in a Glucose Sensor device. EQUID (Ergonomics Quality in Design)
design approach was applied where users’ requirements were identified in early design stage utilizing Kawakita Jiro
(KJ) method. Benchmarking and trend analysis were also conducted in early stage to understand market trends,
compare features and faults in existing product in the market, at the same time finding opportunities for
improvement in our own product. The development of the shape of the Glucose Sensor device, the color chosen and
the branding profile creation were also discussed in the paper. Several design concepts and prototypes have been
developed and user’s emotions towards each concept in focus group have been captured. The survey was carried out
at the end of this paper to assess the design effectiveness.
