Legacy System Redesign

My Role: UX Researcher and UX/UI Designer

Project Overview:

I collaborated with the team to design and develop cutting-edge Med Tech Dashboards and AR/VR Surgery Simulators for HOAG Hospital in Newport Beach, CA. The project aimed to create a seamless user experience for neurosurgeons, incorporating advanced technologies to enhance surgical training and planning.

Problem Statement:

Neurosurgeons at HOAG Hospital faced challenges in accessing and interpreting complex medical data, and traditional surgical training methods often fell short in providing immersive and realistic scenarios for skill development. There was a need for a user-friendly interface that could consolidate diverse medical information and deliver an enhanced training environment through AR/VR simulations. The old Ui felt like it was built by engineers for engineers. The redesign aimed to create a more intuitive and user-friendly interface that would allow neurosurgeons to access and analyze medical data more effectively, and to provide a more immersive and realistic surgical training experience through AR/VR simulations.

Solution:

The solution focused on the development of intuitive Med Tech Dashboards and AR/VR Surgery Simulators tailored to the specific needs outlined by neurosurgeons. Key components of the solution include:

  1. User-Centric Design:

    • Conducted user research and collaborated closely with neurosurgeons to understand their workflow and preferences.
    • Designed an intuitive and user-friendly interface for the Med Tech Dashboards, ensuring easy navigation, quick access to critical medical and as an intuitive way to plan for surgery in the simulator.

  2. Med Tech Dashboards:

    • Aggregated diverse medical data sources into a unified dashboard, providing neurosurgeons with a comprehensive view of patient information, diagnostics, and surgical plans.
    • Implemented personalized dashboards to cater to individual surgeon preferences.

  3. AR/VR Surgery Simulators:

    • Developed an interface for an immersive AR/VR simulations that replicate real surgical scenarios, allowing neurosurgeons to practice and refine their skills in a risk-free environment.
    • Integrated realistic visuals to enhance the simulation experience and bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application.
