OmniVis developed a sleek handheld pathogen detector capable of identifying COVID-19, cholera, and multiple other pathogens within minutes. The device emphasizes extreme simplicity with a single-button start and a clear, easy-to-read display to minimize user error. Industrial designer Vuk Dragovic led user research and collaborated with engineers to create a compact, minimal form that supports comfortable vertical or horizontal grips. The geometry and color palette balance professional appearance with approachable aesthetics. The detector is optimized for real-world environments such as crowded clinics, remote villages, and pop-up testing sites where rapid, reliable diagnostics are required.
"Remember when COVID-19 tests felt like this rare commodity you'd wait hours for? What if a clinician could detect not just COVID-19, but cholera and a range of other pathogens in minutes with a device small enough to fit in your hand? That's exactly what Boston startup OmniVis wanted to create, and they tapped industrial designer Vuk Dragovic to make it happen."
"In a world where tech devices tend to pile on features until they're impossible to use without a manual, the OmniVis detector goes the opposite direction. One button starts the test. Results show up on a clear, easy-to-read display. That's it. No confusing menus, no multi-step processes that you'll mess up when you're tired or stressed. Dragovic worked closely with the engineering team and led user research to understand exactly what clinicians needed."
