OVERVIEW

Designing a planning platform for a medical startup

Over the Summer 2025, I had the opportunity to intern with Sancorda Medical, a medical startup, and worked with the founders to visualize their SaaS product for coronary artery visualization and operation planning.

So what is Sancorda?

Sancorda Medical is a medical startup developing a 3D coronary artery visualization and operation planning platform. It's designed to assist in identifying potential cardiac issues and aid in pre-operative planning.

RESEARCH

Looking at the Medical Lab Software Products

In order to understand the current market, I conducted an analysis of some competitors that offer similar services. Due to the very limiting information available for specialized medical software, I focused on analyzing the UI patterns and information architecture of existing tools.

DESIGN

Optimizing the layout for high-density information

After researching key elements to incorporate and avoid within the software, I knew that this software was going to have a data-heavy dashboard. I focused on creating a layout that could handle complex 3D visualizations alongside detailed patient data.

Design Style & Icons

With the UI of this project being very simple, dark themed, and overall abundant, the different variations of the components were designed to maintain consistency across the platform while supporting high-density data display.

Recon ST & Recon AI Demo

The platform features two main tools: Recon ST for standard visualization and analysis, and Recon AI for AI-assisted diagnostics and planning.

REFLECTION

Thoughts & Takeaways

Since this project was a biomedical & bioengineering based product, I learned new interesting and complex things that previously I didn't expect. The experience taught me how to design for specialized professional tools where accuracy and data clarity are paramount.
