Weave
A combined NIPT system for decentralised labs and POC testing.
The single-use module handles all steps to sequencing by utilising the lab-on-a-chip principle with magnets, microfluidics and a real-time sensor.
Weave allows the lab technician to focus on their task at hand by independently managing all technical and biological processes.
The instrument, module and UI were all shaped around defined user touchpoints, from blood sampling to sequencing and analysis.
What once required multiple systems and hours of waiting is now a single, seamless workflow, giving lab technicians clarity and expectant parents peace of mind.

Lab technicians need systems that behave predictably and communicate clearly. The goal was to reduce uncertainty at every touchpoint, without removing the user’s sense of control. We focused early on clinical workflows, risk factors, and user behaviour. This guided our process of making the system’s complexity legible by developing hardware, UI and consumables together, rather than in isolation.
The development of Weave was based on lab technicians and their workflows, clarifying important touchpoints and shifting focus to their current task.
The geometric instrument is complemented with an organic module, intuitively guiding interaction through shape and form.
When working with geometric shapes and minimal forms, every detail is placed into the spotlight. All separate parts need to carry the same design intent for the system to work as a whole.
Just as the user, we don’t see physical and digital as separate. With Weave, we looked at all parts of the system, creating one unified experience.
