MED UI™ Beta
Ergonomic and Legibility Calculator
Quickly Assess Your Interface Against Medical Standards

Legibility at viewing distance is critical for medical products. At UEGroup we recognize the importance of these ergonomic factors, but know personally how tedious the calculations can be. We created the MedUI™ calculator to automate the process. Ergonomic recommendations are derived from scale and contrast recommendations sourced from HE-75 medical guidelines and WCAG AA accessibility guidelines. See how we did the math by downloading our spreadsheet.

AUTOMATIC MEDICAL APPROVED STYLE GUIDE COMING SOON

We are always pushing forward at UEGroup, solving problems for users and the people behind the scenes building the products. New features are actively being added to the MedUI™ calculator. The next release will recommend a full UI style guide (fonts, colors, and buttons) based on your device, viewing distance, input methods, and branding.
