SURGEON GUIDANCE

Presenting information to surgeons in real time

Context

In an operating room, hundreds of decisions, notifications and alarms compete for a share of the surgeon’s attention. How do you cut through this mental noise to deliver crucial information to save the patient’s life?

Approach

Our biomedical scientists and surgeons looked at the relative importance of different types of information and trends, and our behavioural science team developed ways to present the filtered and ranked information clearly. We created concepts that worked at different scales – from inventions in haptic and visual communication to broad strategy moves – allowing our client to present the information to surgeons in a way that was complete without being overwhelming.

Impact

Multiple concepts are being taken forward, which will allow our client to capture and communicate complex surgical information in real time.
