Designing a surgical recording tool for a live operating theatre.

Client:

Skånes universitetssjukhus

Duration:

2 months

The Problem

Surgeons and nurses needed to capture and review multi-camera recordings — offline, GDPR-compliant, in one of the most high-pressure environments imaginable.

My Contribution

  • Led end-to-end UX research and product design

  • Ran user interviews with surgeons and nurses

  • Collaborated on backend architecture decisions

  • Managed stakeholder alignment across clinical and dev teams

The Outcome

  • Nurses: reduced cognitive load during surgery with a stripped-back recording UI

  • Surgeons: searchable, annotated video library for post-op review and teaching

  • Built to scale across future operating theatres

My takeaway

This project exemplified how technology can empower healthcare professionals when paired with thoughtful, user-centered design. By balancing innovation with simplicity, we delivered a solution that not only supported the surgical team’s immediate needs but also paved the way for advancements in medical education.

The Surgeons Perspective project reinforced my belief in the power of collaboration and the importance of designing tools that enhance, rather than complicate, the lives of users.
