Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies struggle to efficiently display multiple performance indicators of a robotic medical system in a compact and understandable manner, leading to resource-intensive graphical user interfaces and inadequate real-time performance feedback.
Innovation Solution
A graphical user interface that generates a radar chart to display multiple objective performance indicators (OPIs) alongside a benchmark range, allowing users to visualize and understand the relative magnitudes of these indicators. The system normalizes the metrics and can display them alongside a video of the medical procedure, updating in real-time as the procedure progresses.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple performance indicators are displayed using traditional graphical user interfaces, then comprehensive performance information is provided, but the interface complexity and computational resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple performance indicators (OPIs) into a single radar chart visualization, merging what would traditionally require multiple separate display elements into one integrated graphic. This allows comprehensive performance information to be presented while reducing interface complexity and computational resources needed for rendering and processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from traditional multi-dimensional display approaches to a two-dimensional radar chart that efficiently represents multiple performance indicators through angular and radial dimensions. This dimensional transformation enables compact representation of multiple metrics without proportionally increasing interface complexity.
2Loss of information
If multiple performance indicators are displayed using traditional graphical user interfaces, then comprehensive performance information is provided, but processing resources and memory consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple performance indicators into a single radar chart visualization, reducing the number of separate graphical elements that require rendering, processing, and memory allocation. This consolidation directly decreases computing resource consumption while maintaining complete performance information representation.
3Ease of operation
If performance indicators are normalized and displayed on different axes, then relative magnitudes are easily understood, but the graphical representation becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the radar chart's angular and radial dimensions to represent normalized performance indicators on different axes. This dimensional approach allows intuitive comparison of relative magnitudes through the shape and area of the plotted polygon, providing ease of interpretation without requiring complex multi-axis plotting mechanisms.
Data Source
AI summary
A robotic medical system with a radar chart including performance indicators is described. A system can include one or more processors, coupled with memory, to receive, from a robotic medical system, a data stream of a medical procedure performed by the robotic medical system. The one or more processors can determine, using at least the data stream, metrics corresponding to types, wherein the metrics are indicative of performance of the medical procedure with the robotic medical system. The one or more processors can identify baseline metrics corresponding to the types. The one or more processors can generate data to cause a graphical user interface to display a radar plot comprising the metrics normalized based on the corresponding baseline metrics.
