Goal:

Create a trusted self-assessment experience that helps surgeons safely check and reinforce their knowledge through theory, tests, and interactive 3D practice.

Problem Statement:

Surgical training doesn’t scale: real practice is limited, and traditional materials can’t train the surgical eye. Surgeons lack a safe way to practice and verify where and how to perform incisions without real patients or exam pressure.

Users:

Practicing surgeons
Surgical residents and future surgeons

Business Context

The platform provides government-approved surgical education in Germany. A core part of the learning experience is self-assessment, allowing surgeons and future surgeons to independently check their level of understanding without formal grading or certification pressure.
‍
Tests are designed as knowledge validation tools, helping users identify gaps, reinforce learning, and prepare for real clinical situations. They combine theoretical questions with interactive 3D-based tasks, where users can practice surgical decision-making in a safe environment.
‍
All courses and tests are officially approved and curated. Users cannot create or modify content, ensuring medical accuracy and regulatory compliance.

Business Goals

Help users identify knowledge gaps safely and privately
Increase learning effectiveness through immediate practice and feedback
Encourage repeated learning without fear of failure
Maintain trust through regulation-compliant educational content

Key Stakeholders

Medical Education Provider (Business Owner)
Regulatory & Accreditation Bodies
Senior Surgeons (Approved Content & Test Authors)
Practicing Surgeons and Surgical Residents (Primary Users)
Technical Team (Developers, 3D Specialists)

UX & Product Challenges

Designing tests that feel supportive, not exam-like
Encouraging honest self-evaluation without external pressure
Presenting complex questions clearly and unambiguously
Integrating 3D interactions into self-assessment flows

My UX Focus

Simplifying access to complex, expert-level educational content
Creating intuitive interaction patterns for 3D surgical practice
Making the interface easy to understand while keeping all medical content correct

User Stories

As a surgeon,

I want to use tests to check my understanding of a topic,
so that I can identify what I need to review or practice further.

As a surgeon,

I want tests to feel low-pressure and private,
so that I can answer honestly without fear of being evaluated.

As a surgeon,

I want to complete practical tasks on 3D anatomical models during tests,
so that I can validate my procedural understanding, not just theory.

As a surgeon,

I want to repeat tests and 3D tasks multiple times,
so that I can track my own improvement over time.

As an education provider,

I want self-assessment to support learning without formal grading,
so that users focus on improvement rather than performance.

Key pain points:

Surgeons face growing complexity and specialization in modern procedures.

Training surgical education is limited by operating room time.

Training on body donors is resource-intensive and cannot scale to a high number of course participants or topics.

Texts, images, and videos are neither suitable replacements nor optimal preparation for wet-lab exercises, as they do not train the “surgical eye”.

Surgixplore offers interactive 3D Models and e-learning for innovative training.

My Courses

Give users an overview of all available courses and their progress, and provide access to theory, self-assessment, and hands-on 3D practice within each course.
‍Focus: progress visibility, structured learning, immediate practice and feedback.

Medical Tools

Provide quick access to trusted medical tools that support learning and clinical decision-making. At launch, the platform includes a Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) calculator, with additional tools planned for future releases.Give users an overview of all available courses and their progress, and provide access to theory, self-assessment, and hands-on 3D practice within each course.
