Sanandan Sudhir Bags IDSA's International Design Excellence Award
September 2, 2009 | Levent OZLER
Sanandan Sudhir, Vice President, Design at Innovative Design Engineering Animation has been awarded "Silver Award" for the design of Discovery MR, a Medical and Scientific product by Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA).
Sanandan Sudhir designed the product with team at GE HealthCare.
The Discovery MR helps minimize patient anxiety when undergoing an MRI procedure.
The table is removable, so patients can be prepped in a separate room away from the imposing device.
The touchstrip and in-room console allow the technologist to remain at the patient's side while completing the setup procedures in the scan room.
These design-driven features also increase efficiency: One patient can be scanned while another is being prepped.
