Situation

A large medtech company was exploring innovation opportunities related to surgical complications across multiple procedures.

At the concept stage, teams needed a fast, grounded understanding of where unmet needs existed, how complications were currently tracked, and which areas represented meaningful opportunity.

The client engaged Alkemi to conduct a rapid “snapshot” assessment of the surgical complications landscape to refine scope and inform next-phase innovation planning.

Approach

1. Conducted a rapid review of clinical guidelines, quality metrics, surveillance systems, congress themes, and peer-reviewed literature.

2. Assessed complication trends, tracking approaches, and variations across procedures and markets.

3. Synthesized findings into a clear, decision-focused summary to guide internal prioritization.

The focus throughout:

Quickly narrow the field to where innovation could have greatest impact.

Deliverables

1
Rapid landscape review of surgical complications, tracking approaches, and practice patterns.
2
PowerPoint summary report synthesizing insights and highlighting priority unmet needs.
