The Problem
Challenges
German neurologists at MEOCLINIC Berlin faced a critical paradox: cutting-edge imaging technology that slowed them down. The reality was brutal.
The devastating irony: €2.3M invested in world-class imaging technology was actively undermining the expertise it was meant to enhance.
Data Fragmentation
Patient information scattered across 5 separate systems, forcing constant context-switching during time-sensitive diagnoses
Cognitive Overload
Specialists juggling 15+ data streams while making life-or-death decisions under extreme pressure
Interface Chaos
Legacy systems designed by engineers, not doctors, creating workflows that fought against natural diagnostic thinking
Pattern Blindness
Critical diagnostic markers buried in visual noise, making subtle anomalies nearly invisible
Mental Fatigue
Specialists reporting exhaustion from fighting technology instead of focusing on patient care

Problem Solving
The Approach
Cognitive UX
We abandoned traditional UX methodologies in favor of cognitive science. This wasn't about making interfaces prettier—it was about understanding how the human brain processes complex information under pressure.
