Problem Statement
My Role
Varian Medical Systems
BRAVOS brachytherapy cancer treatment delivery. Our task was to streamline the cancer treatment workflow and redesign five main screens used by the target users: Radiation Therapists.
​
What is Brachytherapy?
Delivers precise radiation doses to target malignant tissue while sparing healthy tissue. Adapts to various tumor sizes, allowing higher, safer radiation levels than external beams
​​​
"Re-design the current BRAVOS software and make it more efficient (reduce time spent compared to today) and more intuitive (align with modern information architecture patterns)”
How might we streamline Varian's BRAVOS brachytherapy treatment delivery workflow to minimize the time treaters spend navigating the software to reduce overall treatment time for patients?
