My Role: Freelance Designer
& Graphics Artist
Comments: Represented above are a few of the instructional
screens I designed for a multimedia software product OPTAx
developed by OPTAx Systems. The splash screen for their product
application is featured on the far left, the top screen represents
a patient form sheet, and the screen on the bottom illustrates
the first instructional test page. I used the visual metaphor
of stars throughout the screen designs since that visually brands
their OPTAx
test. Their product OPTAx
tests whether children can distinguish five-pointed and eight-pointed
stars accurately and quickly in their ADHD assessments.
OPTAx provides physicians with a method to assess how well a child
can sit still and pay attention by quickly and objectively quantifying
the key symptoms associated with ADHD: inattention, impulsivity,
and hyperactivity. Based in Burlington, Mass., the company maintains
a scientific partnership with the Developmental Biopsychiatry
Research Laboratory of McLean Hospital, a major teaching institution
of Harvard Medical School. The OPTAx test is used by physicians
nationally.
