Challenge / Solution

Challenge
Challenge
Challenge
The core challenge in perioperative care was amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting hospital overcrowding. This exposed an urgent need for care delivery beyond the clinic. Hospitals lacked reliable Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) tools, leaving clinicians without visual diagnostics to track 
post-discharge recovery.

Solution

The solution involved an evidence based redesign of the patient-facing tablet application, transforming it into a proactive, AI-enabled recovery platform. The human centered UX/UI design prioritized integrating the AI wound assessment module and streamlining Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM). Compliance with HIPAA and WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards was mandated. This systematic effort resulted in a +40% increase in patient adherence and a measured −20% reduction in post-surgery readmissions.

UX Strategy
Roadmap

The UX Strategy Roadmap for Surgical Focus outlines four phases from research to post-launch. Each step is guided by data, collaboration, and measurable results.

Each phase brings together design, clinical, and technical teams to align user insights and product goals. This creates a clear path from concept to launch and ongoing improvement.

The redesign's core philosophy was to transform Surgical Focus from a reactive telehealth utility into a proactive, AI enabled, human centered recovery platform, bridging hospital-grade data with compassionate care.
