AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current clinical decision support systems (CAD) lead to over-reliance on technology, anchoring effect, confirmation bias, automation bias, alarm fatigue, and skill loss among medical professionals, diminishing their ability to detect false positives and make independent decisions.

Method used

A medical device with a processing unit that analyzes video feeds from a video acquisition device, tracks target tissues, and provides alerts only when potential errors are detected, such as omission of planned actions or camera misalignment, promoting autonomous decision-making and skill improvement.

Benefits of technology

Reduces over-reliance on technology, minimizes alarm fatigue, and enhances skill retention by providing alerts only in error situations, fostering critical review and continuous training for medical professionals.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a medical device comprising a processing unit configured to receive and analyze videos showing images of target tissues of a patient, to identify and track said tissues, to determine intervention areas or volumes, and to recognize the position and movement of the video acquisition device in relation to the target tissues. Furthermore, the processing unit identifies actions associated with the movement of the video acquisition device based on predefined actions. The output device of the system of the invention emits signals if it is detected that the video acquisition device is moving out of or has recently moved out of the intervention area of a target tissue without having completed a planned action of the video acquisition device within said area.
