ACTiQ update: a smarter, more user-friendly interface for healthcare professionals

We have great news! Our latest update to ACTiQ brings a fresh, modern look to our product. This means you’ll notice a visual change overnight, but don’t worry: the functionality remains exactly as you know it. We’ve put a lot of time and effort into usability and an optimal user experience, ensuring that essential information is even more visible without added complexity.

What’s changing?

Our users provided valuable feedback on the previous user interface (UI):

• The screen was sometimes too bright and tiring for the eyes, especially during laparoscopic cases.
• Colors were not always consistent across the platform, causing confusion.
• Contrast and font sizes could be improved to help users quickly identify key information.

With this update, we have addressed the opportunities noted above and improved the design, making it calmer and easier to read, without changing the overall layout of the platform.

1. A fresh, consistent look
   We optimized our design to a sleek, modern, and future-proof appearance. This includes:
   • Enhanced readability: adjusted font and sizes, specifically designed for digital screens, especially numbers.
   • Improved contrast and visibility: information is clearer and easier to recognize.
   • Consistent and intuitive design: a streamlined interface ensures a professional and recognizable look.
2. Improved usability for healthcare professionals
   For professionals who work with our medical software daily, this update brings:
   • Reduced cognitive load: improved clarity and information hierarchy.
   • More comfortable screen experience: color and contrast adjustments reduce visual fatigue.
   • A calmer display: subtle, less intense whiteboard, for improved visual comfort.
3. Improved accessibility
   Accessibility is a key focus of this update. Improvements include:
   • Clearer information hierarchy: key elements stand out immediately.
   • Better visibility: designed to function in both laparoscopic and open procedures.
   • Faster recognition of crucial information: smart color and contrast choices essential for medical professionals.
4. New full-screen pop-ups
   To enhance readability and focus, we redesigned pop-ups for consistency across the platform. This ensures:
   • Better visibility: minimal distractions from other interface elements.
   • Greater emphasis on critical alerts: key information is immediately noticeable.
   • A smoother interaction experience: reduced visual clutter and a more organized interface.

Why this update?

This update is not just a visual enhancement, it’s a significant step toward a future-proof medical software solution. We have collaborated with UX/UI experts to develop a modern design tailored for healthcare professionals.

What does this mean for you?

No worries, there’s nothing new to learn! The placement of buttons and functions remains exactly the same. Only the colors, fonts, and icons have been updated. This means a calmer, more efficient, and more user-friendly product without added complexity.
