Embedded Computing Design

Embedded device interfaces, from medical equipment to industrial machinery, present unique design challenges that demand creativity, empathy and a deep understanding of specialized use cases. Designers must address obstacles like infrequent usage, limited touchscreen input and color psychology, all while ensuring clarity and usability in high-stakes environments. 

In this Embedded Computing Design article, ICS’ Holly Casdorph and Stephanie Van Ness highlight the Top 5 challenges in embedded device user interface design and explain how by overcoming these hurdles, designers can create interfaces that not only enhance safety and efficiency but also make complex systems more accessible.
