The present invention facilitates the remote-participation of a medical device manufacturing company representative in a medical procedure, whereby the device representative coordinates the surgery through audio-visual technology and electronic identifier devices. In the proposed system, the device manufacturing company representative serves as a Surgical Engineer™. The Surgical Engineer uses a variety of audio visual devices and electronic identifiers, as well as an Internet application and at least one server and at least one database, to track and monitor devices in a medical facility in “real-time,” while checking on device status and advising medical staff through Wearable Video Technology rather than being physically present in the operating room. Through the “Virtual Rep” System, which includes both the Virtual Rep Audio Visual Communication System and the Virtual Rep Inventory Tracking System, the Surgical Engineer™ advises surgeons, prepares for surgeries, chooses and tracks implant devices, evaluates and reports on device implantation, calibration and performance, evaluates surgeries and staff, prepares for and concludes procedures, trains medical staff members, performs billing functions, performs legal compliance functions, performs inventory restocking functions, and performs facility and staff scheduling and other clerical functions remotely through the Virtual Rep system.
