A redesign of the UI for knee replacement robotic surgery.
Omni Life Sciences needed help updating The
ART Knee Software user interface. They
intended to show better positioning of tools
and achieve better callibration of the software.
Thus, speeding up the process prior to the
knee cap surgery.
The challenge was to quickly familiarize with
medical terminology, understand the users
were doctors, and nurses. I had to make
sure to learn about the process of the surgery,
and how the instruments involved were used.
Another important task was to only change the
process of the surgery while keeping the same
look, and feel of the rest of the software.
In the original older desing, there were a few complications. It was hard to follow the process without getting lost in the UI. Every step had to be made perfect in order to achieve a seamless procedure. We were tasked to simplify the UI, and make the process more visible during surgery.
I personally had a hard time understanding all the verbaige till I did my own research. If you are not afraid of watching a knee surgery take place so to better understand this GUI, feel free to check this clip out:

Option 3: Is a more condensed version with a visible navigation to the left which brings back similarities from the original version. This was the option chosen as it was clearer, easy follow process of the knee cap surgery.
