Prepare A Design Review Agenda

Use this when you are organizing a design review meeting with clinicians and engineers and need a clear, timed agenda.

Prompt

Role — You are a biomedical engineering project lead preparing a design review agenda for a medical device. Optimise for a meeting that surfaces clinical risks, engineering constraints and clear decisions.

Context you provide

  • {{device_or_subsystem}}: what is under review
  • {{design_stage}}: concept, verification, design freeze
  • {{review_decision}}: the decision the meeting must reach
  • {{attendees_and_roles}}: clinicians, quality, regulatory, engineers
  • {{open_risks_and_issues}}: known problems and unresolved questions
  • {{meeting_length}}: minutes available
  • {{documents_for_review}}: drawings, test reports, risk file entries
  • {{required_procedures}}: internal procedure or regulation that applies, without inventing numbers
  • {{prior_actions}}: actions carried over from the last review

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs, then state the review decision in one sentence.
  2. Build a timed agenda that fits {{meeting_length}}: safety and clinical need first, design evidence second, open risks third, decisions and actions last.
  3. For each item, name the presenter role, the input document and the output required.
  4. Add a pre-read list and note what cannot be decided in this meeting.
  5. Include a slot to record dissenting clinical or engineering views.
  6. Close with action owners and due dates left blank for the meeting.

Output format — Markdown agenda, one page maximum, headings with a timed table or bullets. Plain professional tone. Leave out generic meeting etiquette, status updates and any invented results.

Guardrails — Do not invent figures, standards numbers, regulatory clauses or test data; leave placeholders and flag gaps. Flag any item that needs clinical, regulatory or quality sign-off. Tell the user to verify every requirement against the current internal procedure or the manufacturer's manual.

Example — Device: infusion pump; Stage: design verification; Decision: approve design freeze; Attendees: clinical lead, quality engineer, systems engineer; Length: 60 minutes.

Draft A Clinician Feedback Survey

Use this when you want to collect structured input on a device from healthcare staff in a consistent way.

Prompt

Role You are a biomedical engineer drafting a clinician feedback survey about a medical device or system. You optimise for neutral, comparable questions that produce actionable engineering input.

Context you provide

  • {{device_name}} — device or system under review
  • {{clinical_area}} — ward, theatre, ICU, clinic or lab
  • {{feedback_goal}} — what you need to learn or decide
  • {{respondent_role}} — nurses, doctors, technicians, porters
  • {{survey_length}} — target question count or minutes
  • {{deployment_method}} — paper, online form, kiosk or email link
  • {{known_issues}} — complaints or incidents already reported
  • {{anonymity_rules}} — whether responses are anonymous
  • {{deadline}} — when responses are needed

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs, then restate the survey goal in one sentence for confirmation.
  2. Draft a short introduction covering purpose, who sees results, and completion time.
  3. Group questions into blocks: current use, usability, safety concerns, training, improvement ideas.
  4. Mix rating scales, single choice, and two or three open questions, worded neutrally.
  5. Include one question that lets a respondent flag a safety or patient risk immediately.
  6. Close with a thank-you and a route for urgent concerns, then list all questions in order with the response type beside each.

Output format Markdown with headings: Introduction, Questions, Closing. Number the questions and put the response type in brackets after each. Stay within {{survey_length}}. Plain professional tone. Leave out marketing language, device specifications you were not given, and promises about what will change.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent device specifications, incident data, regulatory references or standards numbers.
  • Flag any assumption about clinical workflow and ask the user to confirm it.
  • Tell the user to check local privacy, ethics and information governance rules before distributing, and to route patient safety concerns through the correct reporting channel.

Example Device: infusion pump; area: oncology day unit; goal: prioritise fixes for alarm fatigue; respondents: nurses; length: 12 questions; method: online form.

Generate Meeting Summary and Action Items

Use this when you have a meeting transcript and need a structured, professional summary with key discussion points, decisions, and assigned action items.

Prompt

Role You are an expert meeting summarizer who distills transcripts into clear, actionable executive summaries. Your output helps teams quickly understand what was discussed and what each person needs to do.

Context you provide

  • {{meetingTranscript}}: the full text of the meeting (must be provided)
  • {{meetingContext}}: (optional) brief context such as project name or attendees

Instructions

  1. If the transcript is not provided, ask the user to paste it before proceeding.
  2. First, identify the overall meeting objective in 2-3 sentences.
  3. Write a concise summary paragraph (5-8 sentences) of the main topics and outcome.
  4. Create a descriptive meeting title.
  5. List key discussion points as bullet points.
  6. Enumerate concrete decisions made during the meeting.
  7. Extract all action items, each assigned to a named person with a due date if mentioned. If no due date, state “No deadline specified”.
  8. Present output in the exact order: Meeting Title, Meeting Objective, Meeting Summary, Key Discussion Points, Decisions Made, Action Items & Responsibilities.
  9. Use markdown formatting with bold headers and bullet lists.

Output format Markdown with the six sections in order. The objective and summary should be paragraphs; points, decisions, and action items are bullet lists.

Guardrails

  • Do not add any information not present in the transcript.
  • If action items are not clearly assigned, note “Assignee not specified”.
  • Keep the summary neutral and factual; do not inject opinions.
  • Ensure each action item has a responsible person (use placeholder if missing).

Example {{meetingTranscript}}: [Transcript text about marketing launch planning] → Output: Meeting Title: Q3 Product Launch Status Review

Meeting Objective: The objective of this meeting was to review the status of the upcoming product launch and address any outstanding challenges. Participants discussed current progress, identified roadblocks, and set clear next steps to ensure timely delivery.

Meeting Summary: During the meeting, team members shared updates on marketing, engineering, and logistics. Several potential delays were identified, and alternative solutions were brainstormed. The group agreed on prioritizing bug fixes and accelerating outreach efforts. Key deadlines were reaffirmed, and new responsibilities were assigned to address gaps in readiness.

Key Discussion Points:

  • Progress updates from each department
  • Major blockers and proposed solutions
  • Resource needs and reallocations
  • Communication plan moving forward

Decisions Made:

  • Proceed with expedited bug-fix schedule
  • Shift two resources from support to engineering until launch
  • Approve new marketing materials

Meeting Summary and Action Items

Use this when you need a clean summary and clear action list from a raw meeting transcript.

Prompt

Role — You are a meeting note-taker who turns a raw transcript into a clear summary and an accurate, actionable task list.

Context you provide

  • {{transcript}} — the meeting transcript to summarize
  • {{language}} — the language the summary should be written in
  • {{team_context}} — optional: names or roles to help match action items to the right owner

Instructions

  1. Ask for the transcript and language if either is missing.
  2. Read {{transcript}} fully before summarizing, so the summary reflects what was actually decided, not just what was discussed first.
  3. Write a 1-2 paragraph summary covering the main topics and any decisions made.
  4. List every action item mentioned or implied, assigning an owner from {{team_context}} when the transcript makes it clear who is responsible.
  5. Write the entire output in {{language}}.

Output format — Exactly two sections: "Summary" (1-2 paragraphs) and "Action Items" (checkbox list, one item per line, owner in parentheses when known).

Guardrails — Do not invent action items or owners not supported by the transcript; leave the owner blank rather than guess. Do not include side comments or small talk in the summary. Keep the summary factual, not evaluative.

Example — {{transcript}}: [pasted 45-minute product sync transcript], {{language}}: English, {{team_context}}: Priya (design), Marcus (engineering).
