Problem

In order to maintain an optimal angle, surgeons rely on OR staff to stack and remove stepping stools in a crowded OR space, which is distracting and hazardous.

Task

Create a wirelessly operated electronic height-adjustable step so that surgeons do not have to step off for a change in height or be halted in their procedure.
