Balancing User Experience and Technical Complexity in Surgical Software Design

Well-designed medical devices can be catalysts for efficiency in healthcare but striking a balance between user experience and safety is a challenge. Neeraj Mainkar, VP of Software Engineering at Proprio, discusses the importance of involving surgeons in the design process for surgical software. Through strategies including virtual reality prototyping and continuous feedback loops, software can be refined to respond to clinical needs efficiently. The cautious use of AI integration into user testing could offer benefits such as anticipating potential issues before human testing begins.
