The MyMaquet operating theatre configurator interactive prototype, was a complex technical design concept we created for Maquet Critical Care, part of Getinge Group. The concept was to show how doctors and nurses could pre-configure surgical theatres based on the type of procedure to be carried out.
Not only the type of equipment needed, but even the settings on individual pieces of equipment could be pre-configured. Status of key equipment could be monitored, and even the service history and spare-parts inventory was accessible. Any piece of Maquet equipment could be connected to the system due to an open OS.
The starting point: Each qualified doctor or nurse at any given hospital had their own profile which could be accessed online. News, reminders, alerts and departmental overviews were also displayed here. To build the critical flows we created 3D models of all the equipment and patient configurations, as well as icon systems.
Our first job was to identify the main use cases for the prototype, based on the individual users profiles, and where each was operational within the hospital. We worked with Maquet's surgical product experts as well as the developer team to build the optimal structure for the configurator.
We created accurate scale 3D models of all the configurable Maquet equipment which could be found in a surgical theatre. Then we started building the configurator based on the flows we had created earlier. There was a lot of information that needed to be easily accessible, so we created a dashboard system for the doctor/nurse login screens. We created 3D patient models for inclusion in the patient flows.
We created a number of flows through the configurator from the viewpoint of a doctor, Marie Bostedt, from the Neurosurgery Team at the Södersjukhuset hospital in Stockholm, Sweden. When Dr Bostedt logs in to her dashboard she can access different information widgets, allowing a deep-dive into different types of information relevant to her role and responsibilities.
A WHOLE HOSPITAL AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
She can read departmental news, follow the service history of equipment in her operating theatres, view her saved patient configurations, see reminders etc. Dr. Bostedt then simply accesses any piece of equipment installed in any of her operating theatres. Each is ID tagged with its model name and location, and she can access its service history, its different possible configurations, download product information sheets, order spare parts etc.
Dr. Bosted can then see an overview of all the equipment installed in the different ORs under her responsibility. Equipment from non-Maquet suppliers can be seen, but their operating systems are not compatible with the configurator, and are therefore shown as non-selectable.
EQUIPMENT STATUS OVERVIEW
The level of information for each piece of equipment is quite staggering. Literally anything a member of staff could possibly need to know is available in just a few clicks, even down to product demo videos, replacement parts inventory and service history.
