WebSurg
Making advanced surgical training easier to navigate, not just watch.
WebSurg is a pioneering e-learning platform giving surgeons access to live training and an extensive resource library. My work focused on the research and usability testing behind that library, then wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes that made dense surgical content easier for time-pressed medical professionals to find, follow and return to.
The challenge
A huge library of surgical videos, lectures and cases is only useful if surgeons can find the right content quickly, often between operations. The challenge was findability and focus, not more content.
Goal. Help busy surgeons find, follow and come back to the right training with less effort.
My role
- Planned and ran usability testing with 10+ surgeons
- Applied usability principles, accessibility, cognitive psychology and user-centred design (usability engineering)
- Turned complex content into clear journeys and information architecture
- Designed wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes in Figma, then supported delivery with business and technical teams
How we got there.
Research & usability testing
Moderated sessions with 10+ surgeons on real tasks.
Information architecture
Grouped content around how surgeons look for it.
Wireframes
Layouts for the library, lectures and author profiles.
High-fidelity prototypes
Interactive designs in Figma, reviewed with the teams.
Usability engineering
Principles, accessibility and cognitive load checks before delivery.
What it looked like.
What changed.
A library that is easier to scan, follow and return to, designed for people with very little time.
The recording shows the final live site: Basecamp learning paths, video lectures and author profiles.
What they said
“Every task, every project benefits from her full attention and perseverance, guaranteeing results that always live up to expectations.”
What I learned
With expert users, observing real tasks beats asking opinions. Every session shortened a path I had assumed was already clear.
