Human-Centred innovation in Urinalysis
At UTS, we’re redefining point-of-care urinalysis through Human-Centred Design (HCD), led by founder and designer Oliver Blackwell. By observing real-world clinical challenges, Oliver has created a smarter, more efficient solution that fits seamlessly into healthcare workflows.
Unlike traditional medical device designers, Oliver’s non-medical background allowed him to approach urinalysis without outdated constraints. By studying healthcare professionals in action, he identified inefficiencies and developed a system that prioritises accuracy, ease of use, and safety.
