DeliveredProduction-ready prototype
A microphone that
transcribes on the device,
for hospitals
across Europe.
Gosta Labs is an Aalto AI startup in medical transcription. I designed the physical product, the object clinicians actually touch, in a team of five across engineering disciplines.
We delivered a production-ready prototype with manufacturing drawings and working electronics.
01 / Users
Designed with clinicians, not for them
I worked with clinicians from several specialties and with the founders.
One concrete example: what did a clinician say that changed the design?
Clinician session / testing in context
Early form studies, foam or printed
02 / Design decisions
Headline: the decision you’re proudest of
Materials, cleanability and hygiene, ergonomics, acoustics, buttons and feedback. Pick two and explain them in 3–4 sentences.
Exploded view
Detail: button / grille / surface
Full-bleed: prototype in a hospital setting
03 / Production-ready
From prototype to drawing set
Which manufacturing process, which materials, which tolerances? Did you make the final prototype yourself?
Manufacturing drawing
Final prototype with electronics
