Transforming Clinical Decision Experiences with High-Accuracy Simulations
We explored how designing a better User Interface makes aneurysm treatment planning more intuitive and precise, helping doctors deliver tailored care with improved confidence and efficiency.
The vision
Mentice aims to enhance the user experience of Ankyras to stand out among competitors by providing a more intuitive interface that not only selects the precise device size but also ensures the best fit for each patient.
The Transformation
By joining forces with Mentice team of experts and professionals in the field, we gained a deep understanding of the process of predicting device foreshortening for each patient aneurysm allowing us to design a an improved solution, increasing the accuracy and also brighten up the user experience focusing on what professionals expect from their software.
The software now offers a more intuitive way to set measures in a 3D space, providing users with greater control and visibility during simulations. This detailed attention to user interface design reduces risks and uncertainty, allowing doctors to choose the optimal device shape tailored specifically to the patient’s needs.

Key Insights Summary
Click-through Prototype
Process documentation
Our design sprint revealed specific user needs and industry challenges, driving the development of a prototype that was rigorously tested and refined with real user feedback. This approach helped us align the software’s capabilities with the practical demands of the users (Neurointerventional Radiologists)
"The passion and expertise Arionkoder put into this really shines through. This work is amazing. You put the expertise into some solid and lucky infrastructure we had. We think this could be really pivotal both for the usability setting from the user but also really helpful on the AI piece"

Multi-view Optimization
We simplified the interface by reducing the number of optional views, to focus on the main simulation views that are most critical for treatment planning. This change has made the software less cluttered and more user-friendly, enabling doctors to concentrate on the essential aspects of the procedure without distraction.
Enhanced Measurements
To accommodate various user preferences and work styles, we redesigned the measurement feature to allow doctors to take necessary measurements in their preferred order. This flexibility makes the interaction with the software feel more natural and less constrained, which is particularly beneficial in high-stress clinical environments.
Intelligent Device Suggestion
By integrating advanced algorithms, Ankiras now uses the aneurysm’s morphological data to suggest the best-matching web device. This automation reduces the time spent on manual selection, thus speeding up the treatment planning process and allowing doctors to focus more on patient-specific strategies.
Blossom simulation
The “blossom” feature simulates the deployment of the web device within the aneurysm, showing how it expands to fit the targeted area perfectly. This crucial functionality not only helps in visualizing the end result of the placement but also ensures the accuracy and safety of the intervention, providing doctors with confidence in the chosen treatment plan.
