About
Imke Meyer-Lamp is a pioneering researcher in surgical ergonomics and operating room optimization, with a particular focus on the psychosocial and physiological well-being of surgical teams. Her key research areas include noise reduction in the operating theatre, staff stress management, and the enhancement of surgical communication and concentration. Her most notable contribution is the development and validation of the Silent Operating Theatre Optimisation System (SOTOS), a groundbreaking intervention designed to suppress ambient noise in the OR. In her landmark 2020 study, Meyer-Lamp demonstrated that SOTOS significantly reduces stress and exhaustion while improving activity levels and concentration among urological da Vinci surgery teams. Though her work is still emerging—with her flagship paper garnering 4 citations—its impact is profound, addressing a critical gap in surgical safety and team dynamics. By tackling the often-overlooked issue of background noise, Meyer-Lamp has laid the foundation for a new standard in operating room design, positioning her as a rising authority in human factors research within minimally invasive surgery.
