AI Technical Summary
Current somatosensory evoked potential monitoring during surgery is hindered by limited availability of trained personnel and costly equipment, and is prone to false alerts due to signal noise and variability, limiting its application to high-risk surgeries.
A computer algorithm for real-time detection and display of incremental changes in evoked potentials using a sliding window method, which reduces false positives and negatives by incorporating noise-resistant voting, allowing automated alerting and equipment control.
Enables accurate, real-time monitoring of evoked potentials, reducing false alerts and enabling automated patient positioning to prevent nerve injury, thus expanding the applicability of monitoring to a broader range of surgeries.
