Cardiac medical visualisation
Real-time 3D imagery in an unfamiliar clinical domain
Annotated real-time 3D imagery that a previous development effort had failed to produce — in an unfamiliar clinical domain and on a visualisation toolkit with no reliable documentation. Delivered in a two-month engagement.
The challenge
A cardiac visualisation product needed annotated real-time 3D imagery that an earlier development effort had been unable to produce. The work sat in an unfamiliar clinical domain, on a third-party visualisation toolkit with no reliable documentation — the two conditions that most often stall this kind of task.
What we did
- Became sufficiently expert in the clinical domain, quickly — treating the medical context as an engineering problem in its own right rather than waiting to be handed requirements.
- Worked out the undocumented toolkit’s real behaviour by experiment, then built the real-time annotation and rendering on top of it.
The result
- Delivered the working 3D imagery the previous effort had not — in a two-month engagement.
Not arriving as the domain expert is normal on this kind of work; becoming sufficiently expert, fast, is the skill. Got an unfamiliar-domain problem?
Working on something similar?
We'd be glad to talk through how we'd approach it.
