mediCAD 8.0
Software
01. Project Overview
Project Name
mediCAD 8.0 – Orthopedic Planning Software
Timeline
May.2023 – September.2025
Role
UX/UI Designer - Product Design Lead
Goal
To deliver a clear and intuitive workflow by integrating the image-loading Query Client with the planning software, unifying 2D and 3D programs, removing unnecessary features, and applying a modern, minimal design for improved usability.
Usability & Workflow Improvements
- Reduced surgery planning time by enhancing overall usability and optimizing key workflows.
- Modernized legacy UI with a trend-driven, contemporary visual refresh for clearer, more efficient interactions.
- Integrated query and planning tools into a single platform for seamless surgical planning.
- Enhanced UX by collaborating with AI team to enable automated 2D/3D detection and instant mode switching.
02. Problem Definition
Time-consuming manual work
Manual measurements during surgical planning cause delays.
Outdated design
Old visual style reduces clarity and user engagement.
Disjointed software flow
Switching between multiple apps interrupts workflow.
Limited market scope
Product tailored mainly for German market limits usability elsewhere.
