Congenital heart disease (CHD), one of the main causes of infant mortality, should be screened as early
as possible. However, the current screening method, auscultation, strongly depends on the doctors’ experience,
and the contradiction between limited medical resource and growth of population becomes sharp. This study
presents a systematic approach for the conceptual design of a novel screening system. Research and interview are
carried out to determine user requirements. Quality function deployment (QFD) with consideration of related
products, patent and research is implemented to find out the key user requirements of existing screening device and
the order of design descriptors. With the key requirements confirmed, several concepts which focus on satisfying
the key requirements are brought out. The final concept of the screening system is chosen by the application of
Pugh decision matrix. The implementation of the conceptual design shows that the designed system satisfies the
user requirements well.
