AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current systems fail to efficiently identify and address inefficiencies in surgical procedures due to the complexity of disparate data types and the need for correlated analysis of surgical theater data, often leading to false positives and inadequate feedback.

Method used

A system that processes and correlates multi-modal surgical theater data, including video, instrument kinematics, and system events, to provide insightful feedback for improving surgical team efficiency by generating objective performance indicators and skill scores through machine learning and data correlation techniques.

Benefits of technology

Enables accurate identification of inefficiencies and their causes, providing actionable feedback to enhance surgical performance and reduce adverse consequences by correlating diverse data streams and presenting them in an actionable manner.

Abstract

Various of the disclosed embodiments provide systems and methods for correlating and presenting surgical theater playback data so as to facilitate more insightful analysis and feedback. Specifically, various embodiments present kinematics and system event data collected during the surgery in parallel with wider theater context data as may be captured by, e.g., visual imaging systems or depth imaging systems within the surgical theater. In this manner, reviewers may more readily cross-reference the types of data during playback, distinguishing inefficiencies consistently affecting surgical outcomes from one-time anomalous events. Recognizing such distinctions may facilitate the reviewer's providing more actionable feedback to members of the surgical team. Metrics for assessing surgical performance using cross-referenced data are also disclosed.
