“Together with our customers, we are driven to make healthcare better.”

Working at Stryker

At Stryker, I led the design of OrthoLogIQ, fostering an agile, collaborative culture across teams in the U.S., Ukraine, and India. I also supported the design of the MotionSense app, facilitated workshops and created prototype demos for marketing. Beyond design, I managed user stories, GitLab tickets, and set up analytics to enhance team efficiency.

Key Contributions:

• Remote Patient Onboarding: Reduced onboarding time by 20%, improved patient compliance, and scaled remote monitoring services, cutting costs for healthcare professionals.

• Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) Codes Integration: Enabled new revenue streams, improved care team efficiency and drove 15% growth in recurring revenue.

• Physical Therapist Access: Streamlined therapist workflows, increasing patient engagement by 54% beyond 30 days.

• Add Patient Wizard: Streamlined patient addition process, cutting clinician task time by 50%

• UI Enhancements: Improved patient progress visibility with ‘wear cycle’ updates and enhanced patient details usability.

• In-app NPS & Permission Settings: Designed solutions to capture patient feedback and clarify app permissions, improving user experience.

• Maintained Design Systems across the OrthoLogIQs web platform and MotionSense Mobile App (Android and iOS)

What is MotionSense?

MotionSense is a patient-facing recovery app designed for American patients to use both before and after surgery. It supports recovery by guiding patients through clinician prescribed exercises and enabling them to track key Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), which are essential for self care and maintaining independence.

The app captures important recovery metrics including Range of Motion (ROM), pain scores, step count and active time, giving patients visibility into their progress throughout rehabilitation.

MotionSense was available on both iOS and Android and connected to a wearable device worn on the patient’s leg. The wearable consisted of two sensors - one placed on the lower thigh and one on the lower leg - allowing accurate, continuous monitoring of movement during recovery.

All patient data collected via MotionSense was integrated into the clinician-facing platform OrthoLogIQ, creating a connected ecosystem that supported both patient engagement and clinical decision making.

What is OrthoLogIQ?

OrthoLogIQ is a cloud-based, clinician facing platform that enables surgeons and care teams to remotely access and analyse patient recovery data captured via the MotionSense app.

The platform supports patient profile management, monitoring of key recovery metrics - including range of motion, step count, and activity levels - and the ability to adjust prescribed exercises as recovery progresses. With secure, HIPAA-compliant access, OrthoLogIQ enables more personalised, data informed care, helping teams intervene earlier, improve patient outcomes and reduce overall costs. Built in alerts notify care teams when patient progress falls outside expected thresholds.

I primarily worked on the OrthoLogIQ SaaS platform, focusing on optimising the experience for iPad and desktop, which were the primary devices used by surgeons and care teams in clinical settings.

As a Senior Staff UX/UI Designer at Stryker, I led the design of a major platform expansion enabling external Physical Therapists to access OrthoLogIQ and MotionSense. I owned the permissions model, invitation and onboarding flows, and cross platform workflow definition end to end - allowing PTs to support patients remotely, improving recovery outcomes while reducing clinician workload.

Impact & Key Results

Patients were 54% more likely to remain active with their exercises after 30 days when PTs updated recovery plans

👥 I enabled secure, patient-invited PT access across both platforms for the first time.

🔄 I reduced surgeon and clinician administrative workload by enabling shared care responsibilities between surgeons and PTs

🔐 I designed a privacy first access model giving patients control over PT visibility and permissions

📈 I delivered a successful MVP establishing the foundation for future PT-facing features and billing workflows

Challenge

Patient compliance was a persistent challenge… many didn’t stick to their recovery plans, especially once they left the clinic setting.

Clinicians were too busy to update exercise routines regularly, and independent PTs had no access to the platform. Without ongoing guidance from PTs (who were often the most hands on support in recovery), patients were left disengaged - creating a critical care gap that impacted long term outcomes.

This project involved introducing a new user type (external PTs) into a clinically sensitive system, requiring careful consideration of privacy, permissions and clinician oversight.

Solution

I designed a secure, patient driven invitation flow, allowing MotionSense users to invite their PTs to OrthoLogIQ. Once verified, PTs could view recovery data, edit exercise plans, and track progress - while clinicians retained data oversight and access control.

The experience was built with scalability and data privacy in mind, aligning design, dev and regulatory constraints over 9 agile sprints.

• My Role: Senior Staff UX/UI Designer

• I owned the strategic UX direction for PT Access, including defining the highest risk user model, shaping the permissions architecture, and driving MVP scope decisions.

• Team Composition: Remote Developers, User Researcher, Marketing, Product Managers and QA/Test Engineers.

• Timeline: January 2023 - May 2023: Approx 4.5 months (9 sprints)

As a Senior UX/UI Designer at OrthoLogIQ, I redesigned the ‘Add Patient’ and ‘Edit Patient’ experiences to reduce cognitive load, improve accuracy, and streamline workflows for busy clinicians.

The original layout was cluttered, hard to navigate and time consuming…

I introduced a structured, step based flow for adding patients and a simplified tabbed layout for editing, making data entry faster, clearer and easier - even under time pressure.

Impact & Key Results

🕒 43% Time Reduction – Reduced clinician patient data entry time from 3 minutes to 1.7 minutes, helping clinicians complete entries more quickly, especially under time pressure.

✅ Fewer Data Entry Errors – Clearer UI and a structured step by step flow reduced common input mistakes and rework

👍  Higher Clinician Satisfaction – Clinicians found the platform easier to navigate and the summary step boosted confidence

♿ Improved Accessibility - Updated colour contrast + keyboard friendly navigation

Challenge

Clinicians faced cognitive overload due to a cluttered, three column layout with excessive scrolling and poor field grouping… leading to user errors, frustration and longer workflows.

The ‘Edit Patient’ screen replicated these issues, offering no improvement in usability.

Solution

I redesigned the flows to align better with clinician workflows and technical constraints:

• Add Patient: A 3 step wizard…

1. General (Personal + Surgery Info)

2. MotionSense (Wearable Setup)

3. Create Patient (Summary + Confirmation)

• Edit Patient: A tabbed layout to reduce visual noise and separate key content clearly.

The Hooked Workshop

At Stryker, I initiated and facilitated a “Hooked” workshop to explore how we could apply Nir Eyal’s habit-forming framework to enhance user engagement and retention. The Hooked model, focused on four key phases—trigger, action, variable reward, and investment—guided our approach to designing products that foster lasting user habits.

The workshop shifted our team’s perspective toward a more human-centered approach, addressing a key challenge: low patient compliance within the app.

Our goal was to create a product that users instinctively turn to during their knee recovery, making it both useful and engaging.

As a result, we developed a clearer understanding of the user journey and prioritised a list of feature changes aligned with the Hooked principles, aimed at driving long-term user satisfaction and product growth.
