Interviews with Ruimin He

When I was kid, I like to draw on blank paper. No matter it was a word or random drawing, I might take it as a good way to express my thought. Later, I found the technical drawing of architecture / product is pretty with logic and art. So that I want to be a designer to create something innovative and meaningful.

During the design process, firstly consider "Who do you design for", secondly observe the whole using routine, third is prototype is really important to verify the design. I usually use professional software for rendering and initial mock-up.

feeling excited, be happy, and live a full life.

I think I'm kind of good at communication. It benefits me to be related to normal people, and discover users' true demands via design. Also good communication skill helps me to discuss with clients clearly. Moreover, I can present my design and its story behind well to public.

In my student age, innovation was most important thing to me. Later, When I studied in Master degree and work for while, I found critical and practical thinking became more important. I want to win more award in the future for public approbation. And I want to apply for a job overseas. Recently, I want to try jewellery design.

Work hard for your dreams, think with logic, enjoy in the process.

Logic is also meaningful for designers. It ensures the quality and stability, also is a sure way to suit most users.

I‘m Taurus and I like self-discipline, so my routine may sounds boring to you. Work in office mostly, and go back home after work-off. But I like to refresh my mind with coffee and snacks every afternoon. If I feel exhausted, go shopping and have a great meal at weekend.

Some design foundation will announce latest trends every year or season. Subscribe them will on track with the design trends. I like to design based on the latest design trends because it makes sense and reasonable. But I also change a bit with my own thinking and prediction, hence it could be more convincing with my personal style.

Is the design understandable? Can it evoke people's feeling? I will define a design with these two questions. Besides the basic principle, easy to use and in general, I also believe good design can evoke people's feeling or memory so that it can tell users the story behind itself.

Is the design understandable? Is it useful? Is it long-last? Can it evoke people's feeling? I use the same questions to define my design is ready or not. Also keep questioning after a break, go back to look at the design and ask again. Sometimes you can find something new for next version or update.

Every single project is biggest to me. Sometimes a design project takes 1 year or more to finalize, even ongoing project that improve all the time with marketing demands.

Recently, I like design by Tom Dixon. I think there are really good consumer product with well using of bronze and match the marketing. I also like Zaha Hadid. She was one of successful women and designers. Her distinctive design style, streamline, always inspired me.

I live in China and I am proud of my country's culture. Chinese culture has many historical stories, and its each pattern can give meaning into design. With the significant development in China, the manufacture and material benefit product design with mass production. Here also is a wide platform for designers to make their innovation with combination of art and technology.

I take charge of my team as design leader, and also develop my individual design myself. I do like to set up the timeline for each design project. It helps me to manage the time and team with clear schedule.
Thanks to my team, we can use the time efficiently.

It is pleasure if can do philanthropic contributions to society as a designer. Some of my joined design associations would had events for holidays, such as Children's Day, International Women's Day and so on, to invite people or kids know there. It is a positive way to relate art and society.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to let more people know me and my design!

We focus on the user experience in particular to various user groups. So our consideration and test of the design result is pretend to be a fresh user as using it at first time. If the interface and interaction is clear and easy enough for fresh users, it is successful.

Tell our clients and public.

We took around 1 month from concept to initial version.

The rapid growth of the aging population worldwide, which increased dramatically to 703 million in 2019, points to the challenges of long-term care and aging in place. Meanwhile, the global pandemic has shed a light on many gaps, such as remote health monitoring and telehealth service. So, we bring this solution to tackle this difficulty, with smarter system design, by providing prompt and proactive service of in-depth knowing for patients.

It is a SaaS platform - Software as a Service. So we sell this software to another companies and organizations with our service and support.

Good design can evoke people's feeling, so that I use more color within it to try to represent the respiration and make people refreshen when looking at this interface.

Not really because it is business.

Our target customer is more than one, such as health care centers, medical institutes, property managements, and governments or health organizations and so on.

I want to make this work distinguish from general health system interface by colorful background represented respiration. Also empower it with auto data analyze, as opposed to serving as notification tool.

The name of hearts is merging the letters HE from health and ARTS from AI based Radio and Thermal Sensing. It means our goal and capacity together.

Sketch and Photoshop.

This design is combined art and technology integrated with AIoT devices. It does not only consider the interface and interaction by designing the user process, but also has some automatic functionalities, which collaborate seamlessly.

I work with developers and algorithm engineer for design achievement.

Technology ensures the platform works seamlessly with the AIoT devices and juggling the health data across cloud. Also, advanced algorithm learns from user's threshold and record the data automatically with camera-free.

Yes, we received different insights by observation and interviews with caregivers, doctors and medical staffs in care centers in order to fulfill their particular needs. Next is ranking the highest priorities requirements. Not only built the workflow of this portal, and we also made user journey with mood curve to find out the major problems and improve user-friendly.

The challenge for this portal is about to balance the complexity of data and collected by smart devices. We need to consider that it does not only remain the intuitive interaction to caregivers, but also encourage medical staff to do health evaluation proactively with deeper functional like data comparison and trend analysis. So it is an important part to think providing the learning-free user experience with simplified, systematic and visualized to each user group.

We have strong confidence about our design and capacity. And We want to get the public approbation. It is good for our company reputation and commercial.

My management skill is improved. Also I like to see my skills of design research finalization applied to this project.

So far so good.

When I was kid, I like to draw on blank paper. No matter it was a word or random drawing, I might take it as a good way to express my thought. Later, I found the technical drawing of architecture / product is pretty with logic and art. So that I want to be a designer to create something innovative and meaningful.

I choose to become a designer myself.

For now, I focus on product design, which is not only design for physical things and also design the application in sync.

I am not design legend, still working towards to it. Do not stop critical thinking about good design. Work hard for dreams, think with logic, enjoy in the process.

In my humble opinion, great designers is good at questioning, and have distinctive insight into the environment. Also, they must be empathetic and share the feeling via design, so that their design are meaningful and they can present their design well.

"Ten principles for good design" can answer this question. Is the design understandable? Can it evoke people's feeling? I will evaluate a design with these two questions, and I also believe good design can evoke people's feeling or memory so that it can tell users the story behind itself.

The value of good design is helping people solve the problems in life. For example, cleaner robot saves your time for house cleaning, and meditation app would brings a refresh mind and peaceful mood to you. So our life become friendly, cozier and better with these positive experiences

I am interested in NFT recently.

User experience is an important aspect to me. It can make the design useful and easier to user, and help me to share the meaning behind design to users in good way. And logic. It ensures the quality and stability, also is a sure way to achieve design.

Zaha Hadid. She was one of successful women and architect. Her distinctive design style, streamline, brings different inspiration in my industrial design .

Recently, I like bronze product design by Tom Dixon, what are good consumer design with well using of material and match the marketing. I also like the architecture by Zaha Hadid with her distinctive streamline style.

I do not have significant greatest design yet. Maybe when I win a Gold A’Design Award I can answer it.
However, I always say a great design must be timeless, brings long-last benefit to environment, and evoke people’s feeling easily.

Do not stop questioning, observe more about the environment, and think with deeper insight

A lawyer? A developer? Neither sounds suit me better than being designer.

Design is not only for appearance, pretty or ugly, but also present its characteristic. It will go through from the looking, material, finished to the interaction with user. Moreover, it is an innovative method to help people to solve problem in the life.

There are more than one person helped me. But I would like to say my parents are my biggest supporters.

My design degrees brought me multiple capacity and design thinking, which are my strong backup. Also I am good at communication so that I can present my design well, and related to people.

I am still working hard to become a design master. So far my obstacle is my general design process.

Present the thinking behind design fluently like telling a story, show the result clearly and make sense.

An app for smart home.

Boost my career and our business with clients.

Professional, have good aesthetic insight, reliable.

Design would bring solution with new technology as purveyor.

Currently I am redesigning an interaction system.

Every project. I feel satisfied every time I present it and the design is accepted by clients.

fair rewards.

Design can be better with the development of technology. Design is a positive way to interpret new technologies, also technology supports design improved and achieved. Both side is challenge for designers.

It depends on design needs, ranges from 2 weeks to one year.

When I get a design briefing, I would like to consider "who would be the users" firstly. It brings distinct insights about multiple user groups, and give new thinking with potential users.

Good design is understandable.

It cannot be separated because they are supplements each others.

Design can be better with the development of technology. Design is a positive way to interpret new technologies, also technical supports make design improved and achieved. For example, 3D printing and CAD software help design production. Moreover, advanced algorithm is new manner to due diligence and initial prototype for design. Both side is challenge for designers.

For UI design, I usually use Photoshop, Sketch and Lanhu. For industrial design, there is a series of professional software, like Solidworks and Keyshot.

Optimal combination of color, materials and ambient supports design be more friendly.

What does inspire you in this design?

"Wow!" is my first reaction when I see a new great design or product. And then I will ask myself: what is the sparking sport? what the difference / benefit does the design bring?

I am working with a team and I would like to work with someone who is proactive and like to juggle ideas.

I have a chat group of designers that we often exchange our thinking and funny things.

Art: A Brief History.

I am not a master designer yet. Now I am developing my management skill and critical thinking.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

Thanks to the awards I had, I have the opportunity to let more people know me and my design.

My favorite color is red, my favorite place is home. I like seafood and all season.

Winning this award is the first thing I like to talk as a designer.

Compliments in my design presentation from clients and people propalSolving a design problem always feels good. I motivate and get inspiration by walking with my dog in nature.

Not really. When I was a little child, designer is one of my dreams because designer can create pretty things. By I grown up, I was dissatisfied just doing something pretty. I have ambition to be a great designer to do meaningful design.

I focus on the present.

Thank you for all the supports!

Nowadays I work in a radar technology R&D company. WiRUSH commercializes the see-through-wall capability in many scenarios, such as office, smart buildings, shopping malls, hospitals, robotics and more. It is the core principle behind all WiRUSH applications - safe, efficient and affordable to improve health, security and quality of life. Those are also my goal into design.

Design is not only for appearance, pretty or ugly, but also present its characteristic. It will go through from the looking, material, finished to the interaction with user. Moreover, it is an innovative method to help people to solve problem in the life.

I don't limit myself with particular design discipline, but so far I prefer UX Design, such as web design and app design, which I try to bring the design thinking of physical product into software development. It allows me to add more creative ideas to try because it contains lots of interaction between human and design.

Recently, I like to use various colors together with minimalism design. People always think minimalism is less color and light tone. I'm trying to add more attractive colors within it to evoke people's feeling, but still present the design in a clear and sharp way.

Smart pillbox and its app. It leads my thinking towards to how to use technology well into arts.

Pencil and paper, it is always first tool for design and take to the finalization.

in a middle phrase of project. It shows a clear initial prototype in this phrase, and I can add more creative thinking to improve the finalization.

tired, but be satisfied.

Besides the basic principle, easy to use and in general, I also believe good design can evoke people's feeling or memory so that it can tell users the story behind itself.

Is the design understandable? Can it evoke people's feeling?

environmentally friendly. It is one of point if a design is long-last, and the designer would take the responsibility to make sure it give the social and environment positive impact.

Design can be better with the development of technology. Design is a positive way to interpret new technologies, also technology supports design improved and achieved. Both side is challenge for designers.

My last exhibition with my individual design was 2010 year in Seoul, which I got my first award. Also, the design project with my work team has won A'Design Award, Reddot, and iF in 2016-2017, so that they presented our design as winner there.

I always say the inspiration is everywhere and comes with logic. So that I try to observe the subtle movement, inertia, habits and change around our environment to inspire my design. This way has wider my insight and my vision.

Most of my design is minimalism, but not limited myself to reinterpret other arts. Also, I like my design making sense to relate to human and environment by color.

I live in China mostly. Yes, I am proud of my country's culture. Chinese culture has many historical stories, and its each pattern can give meaning into design. With the significant development in China, the manufacture and material benefit product design with mass production. Here also is a wide platform for designers to make their innovation with combination of art and technology.

Usually we talk with the developer about new tech and application, which inspires even surprise us. When the project starts, we have done the user interviews and market analysis to find out their needs. These take a huge step in design process and goal. I have to discuss with design team in each phrase for details and limitation from technology and applied.

There are various designer type. Some focus on the good looking, some are perfectionist, and some are just cat's paw. The important things for working is how to use well their talent and appropriate position. It is also my consideration when selecting a good designer.

When I get a design briefing, I would like to consider "who would be the users" firstly. It brings distinct insights about multiple user groups, and give new thinking with potential users. Afterward, ranking user demands, seeking the reference from my design warehouse, and put my creation in subtle detail as well. Making an initial prototype for user test is the next, and then update version and update and update... But I have my bottomline of making product good looking, understandable and useful. These also are my winning tips in design finalization and design proposal.

Dishwasher, Dolce Gusto, A set of coffee cups, Sofa and Cleaner Robot. These things make a cozy home to me and refresh my mind.

I‘m Taurus and I like self-discipline, so my routine may sounds boring to you. Work in office mostly, and go back home after work-off. But I like to refresh my mind with coffee and snacks every afternoon. If I feel exhausted, go shopping and have a great meal.

Work hard for your dreams, think with your logic, enjoy in the process.

Positives is that have different insight and arrow down the main question to answer.
Nagatives... is too strict.

Logic would ensure the design done in fast and clear manner. But don't stop questioning and upgrade it.

Communication. No matter communicate with yourself or others, either language or pen. It is related to how designer present his design, also how the design interacts with users.

For UI design, I usually use Photoshop, Sketch and Lanhu. For product design, there is a series of professional software, like Solidworks and Keyshot.

I do like to set up the timeline for each design project. It helps me to manage the time and team with clear schedule.

2. The blue-green gradient interface of the Hearts Health Monitoring Platform was inspired by the fundamental connection between color psychology and healthcare functionality. During our design process, we explored how colors influence emotions and physiological responses. Blue and green are universally associated with calmness, stability, and health, making them ideal for creating a reassuring experience for users. The gradient itself represents the rhythmic flow of respiratory motion, a visual metaphor drawn from observing patients' breathing patterns during our research in care centers. This design choice subtly mirrors the continuous, life-sustaining process of respiration, aligning with the platform’s core focus on real-time health monitoring. Additionally, the soft, flowing gradient helps to reduce stress and anxiety for users, creating a calm environment for managing their health. This thoughtful connection bridges visual aesthetics with functional intent, ensuring the interface fosters both trust and a sense of well-being.

In designing the Hearts Health Monitoring Platform, we balanced comprehensive health data with an intuitive interface for caregivers of varying technical abilities. We focused on more user-friendly data processing and emphasizing critical information, ensuring that the platform’s most important data is immediately visible. We simplified navigation with clear icons and straightforward paths, reducing complexity. Data visualization tools, like color-coded indicators and large fonts, made complex information easier to understand. Customizable alerts tailored to individual patient needs helped reduce information overload. User testing with diverse caregivers guided refinements to improve usability. In-app tutorials and support offered step-by-step guidance, ensuring the platform delivers in-depth care while being simple to use for all caregivers.

4. The heatmap feature in the Hearts Health Monitoring Platform offers a unique way to visualize patient activity patterns. This feature was developed based on our deep understanding of the needs of caregiving teams, particularly in interpreting large sets of data and tracking subtle changes in patient activity. In fact, the heatmap is a summary of the observed activity range and patterns of the monitored individuals.1. Identifying the Need: Through discussions with care teams, we found that visualizing activity trends in a way that’s easy to comprehend is crucial for proactive care. Caregivers needed a tool to quickly identify periods of low activity or irregular patterns, which could signal potential health issues or the need for intervention.2. Design Process: To address this, we chose the heatmap format as it could represent large amounts of data in a compact, color-coded way. Each cell in the heatmap corresponds to a time period, and varying colors indicate levels of activity, with warmer colors representing higher activity and cooler colors indicating lower activity. This intuitive approach made it easy to spot patterns at a glance without overwhelming the caregiver with raw data.3. Impact on Proactive Care: The heatmap feature allows caregivers to quickly assess a patient’s daily or weekly activity levels, making it easier to identify abnormalities. For example, a sudden decrease in activity could indicate potential health concerns such as fatigue, discomfort, or a worsening condition. This insight empowers caregivers to take proactive steps, such as adjusting care plans, initiating early intervention, or alerting medical professionals.By providing an accessible, visually engaging way to track and analyze patient activity, the heatmap significantly enhances the ability to detect early warning signs and prevent more serious health issues from developing. This feature supports more informed decision-making and ultimately improves patient outcomes.

The integration of smart devices with cloud accessibility in the Hearts Health Monitoring Platform presented several key challenges in ensuring reliable real-time data transmission while maintaining patient privacy and security.

Network latency and potential disruptions in connectivity could cause delays or interruptions. To address this, we incorporated redundancy mechanisms and local data processing through edge computing, which allowed us to process critical data on-site before sending it to the cloud, ensuring smooth and consistent data transmission.2. Privacy, Security, and Device Compatibility: Our smart devices are based on WiFi wireless sensing technology, which means they do not require cameras for capturing images or the need for users to wear any devices. This design significantly reduces any sense of constraint or privacy concerns, as users can monitor their health in high-privacy areas, such as bedrooms or bathrooms, without the worry of images being captured or stored. Additionally, our AI model leverages cloud computing and big data, ensuring no local storage of sensitive data. We also implemented identity verification and authorized access protocols, adding an additional layer of security to protect user data.3. Scalability and Performance: As more devices and users were added to the platform, managing large volumes of real-time health data became challenging. We focused on building a scalable cloud architecture, with load balancing and fault tolerance in place, to ensure that the system could handle high volumes of concurrent data requests without compromising performance.In summary, ensuring reliable real-time data transmission while maintaining patient privacy and security involved overcoming challenges related to data consistency, device compatibility, encryption, scalability, and user privacy. By employing advanced encryption, edge computing, scalable infrastructure, and non-contact health monitoring, we were able to build a platform that ensures both secure data handling and an exceptional user experience.

In designing the Hearts Health Monitoring Platform, we focused on making complex health data easy to understand and actionable for both caregivers and patients. The visual sleeping score is one example of this effort, and its development involved a careful process of identifying key metrics and presenting them in a way that maximizes clarity.1. Identifying Key Metrics: We worked closely with healthcare professionals and caregivers to determine which metrics are most critical for patient care. For instance, we set a normal fluctuation threshold range for parameters like breathing and heart rate. If the system detects sustained values outside of the threshold, it will trigger an alert. Additionally, we can set sleep change reminders, including trends related to sleep stages and duration, time to fall asleep, and movement during sleep. These metrics allow caregivers to promptly detect potential issues in a patient’s health.2. User-Centered Design: Understanding that caregivers often need to make quick decisions based on data, we aimed to simplify the information while retaining its value. Through interviews and testing, we identified that visual representations, like scores or color-coded systems, would help caregivers quickly assess a patient’s sleep health. We also used consistent design elements, such as color gradients and intuitive icons, to ensure the information remained clear and easy to interpret without overwhelming the user.3. Data Simplification: We simplified complex data into visual formats that reduce cognitive load. For the visual sleeping score, we used a clear color-coded scale from poor to excellent, with numbers representing different levels of sleep quality. This allows caregivers to quickly spot potential issues without needing to analyze raw data.Ultimately, our goal was to make health data more accessible and actionable through simple, effective visual representations. By focusing on key metrics and presenting them clearly, we ensured that caregivers could make informed decisions quickly, leading to better patient care outcomes.

The Hearts Health Monitoring Platform's availability in both English and Mandarin reflects our commitment to providing a global and inclusive healthcare solution. To maintain a consistent user experience across different cultural contexts, we considered several key factors in the design process:1. Visual Design Consistency: We maintained consistent visual design across both versions, ensuring that elements like icons, colors, and charts are interpreted similarly in both languages. This uniformity helps reduce confusion, allowing users to rely on visual cues, regardless of the language.2. Simplified Interface Design: We opted for neutral tones in the interface, reducing the clutter of text and focusing on presenting data through charts and graphs. This approach allows users to quickly understand key information through intuitive visual displays, minimizing text-based distractions and enhancing usability.3. Cross-Regional User Testing: Throughout the design process, we conducted extensive user testing with both English and Mandarin-speaking users. This helped us identify potential areas of confusion or differences in user preferences, allowing us to refine the platform for seamless cross-cultural use.Ultimately, our goal was to create a platform that provides an intuitive and effective user experience, regardless of language or cultural background. By focusing on visual consistency, cross-regional user testing, and a simplified interface design, we ensured the platform delivers valuable, reliable, and easily accessible health data to users worldwide.

The automatic functionalities of the Hearts Health Monitoring Platform significantly improve working efficiency for healthcare centers. To measure and optimize this improvement during the development process, we followed several key steps:1. Identifying Key Pain Points: We collaborated with healthcare professionals to understand the most time-consuming tasks in their daily routines. These included manual data entry, constant monitoring of vital signs, and the need for rapid decision-making. By identifying these pain points, we could prioritize automation features that would deliver the most impact.2. Automation of Routine Tasks: We implemented automatic data collection from various smart devices, ensuring real-time monitoring of vital signs, such as heart rate and respiration. The platform automatically analyzes this data and triggers alerts when thresholds are exceeded, allowing healthcare staff to focus on responding to critical issues rather than continuously tracking patient data.3. Measuring Efficiency Gains: To measure the effectiveness of these automatic functionalities, we conducted pilot tests with healthcare centers and gathered feedback on the time saved in daily tasks. We also tracked response times to alerts and assessed how much quicker staff could react to patient conditions with automated notifications compared to manual methods.4. Continuous Optimization: We used real-time data from the platform’s performance to assess areas of improvement. For instance, we analyzed how well the automatic alerts aligned with actual patient needs. If a specific alert was triggered too frequently or missed critical conditions, we adjusted the algorithms to ensure more accurate and timely notifications. Additionally, we optimized the user interface to streamline the process of reviewing and acting on alerts.5. Feedback Loops: During the development phase, we continuously gathered feedback from healthcare professionals to refine the platform. This involved testing the automatic functionalities under various real-world scenarios, ensuring that the system remained efficient and adaptable to different healthcare environments.6. Impact on Care Delivery: We also assessed how automation improved overall patient care. By reducing manual interventions, healthcare staff were able to dedicate more time to patient interaction and proactive care. The platform’s automated monitoring and alert system not only saved time but also contributed to faster response times, ultimately improving patient outcomes.Through this process of measuring, testing, and optimizing, we ensured that the automatic functionalities in the Hearts Health Monitoring Platform delivered significant efficiency improvements for healthcare centers, enabling staff to provide better, more responsive care.
