The problem
Zimmer Biomet had an analytics tool, but it was being underutilized
Through extensive interviews with orthopedic surgeons around the world, three main reasons emerged
Busyness
They were incredibly busy, and simply didn't have time to dig through data.
Context
Without context, their data was just numbers—it didn’t tell them anything meaningful.
Impact of surgical decisions
They couldn’t see how the choices they made during surgery affected their patients’ recovery.
Leading a cross-functional team to unlock silos
I love leading workshops that bring diverse stakeholders together.
I use low-fidelity sketches as catalysts for collaboration and meaningful discussion, focusing less on polished designs and more on sparking alignment and shared understanding in the early stages of a project.

No more digging for data–the insights come to you
Instead of having surgeons hunt for insights, I proposed an algorithm that detects what actually matters and turns it into an actionable feed.
Delivered through a mobile app, this revamped experience allows surgeons to access important insights on the elevator or with their morning coffee.
The insight card is designed to show important information at a glance, with the ability to dive deeper when you expand it

Unlocking data through meaningful comparisons
Using Zimmer Biomet's extensive dataset, the app provides context to surgeon metrics by allowing them to compare to their past selves, patients in their region, and global patients.
Connecting surgical decisions to real patient results
The app connects data from various platforms into an intuitive and interactive experience.
Surgeon's used to wonder how their decision in the operating room impacted patients long term. ZBEdge Analytics answers that question now.
The outcome

ZBEdge Analytics won the top clinical decision support award from the Digital Health Association and continues to evolve through ongoing feedback and updates.
