Using Cloud Connectivity to Automate Robotic Surgery Case Preparation
Assume a central database knows the procedure schedule, the operating surgeon, the patient, their health information, and more. How can this data be used to automate tasks, provide relevant information, and help the surgeon prepare for a robotically assisted case?! This student team worked to identify pain points within a surgeon’s journey. After identifying pain points, students were to design a multi-touchpoint experience that utilizes case, surgeon, and patient data to improve the pre-op experience. The primary user in this project is the surgeon. However, other stakeholders may include patients, circulating nurses, sterile assists, scrub techs, and other OR staff. This student team worked to accomplish the following outcomes: - Research documentation with summarized outcomes - Journey map with identified pain points - High-Fidelity prototypes - Video/Multimedia assets (where applicable) - Process documentation (including sketches, wireframes, etc.) - Presentation (including what next steps might be)
