The Challenge: Redesigning Critical Medical Tools for Precision and Usability
When Alpha Omega approached us, they were leaders in Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), assisting surgeons with complex brain procedures. While their tools were innovative, they required simplification for better usability during high-pressure surgeries. The HaGuide software was powerful yet complicated, and their aCare platform for post-surgery care needed improvement.
Our goal was not to add new features but to enhance existing ones for better, faster, and more intuitive use, focusing on a user-centered approach in a field where precision is life-saving.
That’s where Cadabra Studio stepped in.

The Approach: Enhancing User Experience in Real-Time Medical Environments
We focused on understanding the needs of doctors performing delicate brain surgeries by meeting with the Alpha Omega team to learn about the challenges they face in the operating room. With intense pressure and quick decision-making, reliable tools are essential.
For the HaGuide software, we simplified the complex interface to make it feel like a trusted assistant, enabling surgeons to navigate it quickly during critical moments. We also refined the aCare platform to assist neurologists in managing patient recovery more effectively.
Every design decision was:
- Rooted in the real-life pressures doctors face
- Collaborating closely with Alpha Omega’s team
- More user-friendly design
- Enhance medical outcomes.
The Solution: Making Complex Medical Tools Simple and Intuitive
As the redesign progressed, it wasn’t about creating flashy new features but making every interaction smoother and more intuitive for the medical teams using HaGuide and aCare.
For HaGuide, we refined the interface to ensure surgeons could focus on the patient, not the software. By decluttering and simplifying navigation, we made it easier for them to pinpoint exact locations in the brain with confidence.
With aCare, the goal was to give neurologists a tool that could streamline post-surgery patient management. By improving the flow and accessibility of patient data, we made sure that neurologists could track recovery seamlessly, allowing them to focus more on care and less on technology.
Bit by bit, Alpha Omega has already started implementing these changes, and early feedback has been promising. Doctors are finding it easier to use the tools, which means they can focus on what truly matters—better patient outcomes.

The Outcome: Usability That Drives Better Care
Although the project is still ongoing, the early results are already making an impact. Surgeons using the newly designed HaGuide software have reported improved ease of use, allowing them to focus more on patient care and less on navigating the interface. Meanwhile, neurologists working with aCare are finding it simpler to manage post-surgery recovery data, creating a smoother workflow.
