Surgical Information Integration Apparatus for Event Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques for displaying medical information from multiple devices during surgery fail to effectively extract and highlight critical events within a specific time region, making it difficult to focus on important information during the procedure.
Innovation Solution
An information integrating apparatus that acquires medical information from various devices, applies labels for time management, extracts relevant events, sets a time region for display, and showcases an image of the surgical site along with the events within that region on a display device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If medical information from multiple devices is acquired and displayed simultaneously, then the completeness of medical information is improved, but the ability to focus on critical events deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts critical events from the stream of medical information by detecting specific patterns and conditions. The event extraction unit identifies clinically significant moments (such as abnormal vital signs, surgical milestones, or critical alerts) and separates them from routine data, allowing the display to focus on these extracted events while maintaining access to the complete information set.
Solution Approach 2:
The display interface applies different visual qualities to different types of information based on their clinical significance. Critical events are highlighted with distinctive visual properties (such as color coding, size, or positioning) while routine information is displayed with standard properties. This local differentiation allows simultaneous display of comprehensive information while ensuring critical events stand out and capture attention.
2Quantity of substance
If all medical information is displayed without time region constraints, then the completeness of information presentation is improved, but the ease of finding critical information deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary organization of medical information by time region before display. The event extraction unit pre-identifies critical events and the display control pre-configures their presentation based on temporal patterns. This preliminary processing allows the display to present information in an optimized sequence where critical events are positioned for maximum visibility without requiring real-time searching by the user.
3Measurement precision
If medical information is displayed in detail, then the measurement precision of medical data is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The information processing system is segmented into distinct functional units: an event extraction unit that identifies critical patterns, a time region determination unit that organizes events temporally, and a display control unit that manages presentation. This segmentation allows each unit to perform its specific function with high precision while the overall system maintains manageable complexity through clear functional boundaries and modular architecture.

AI summary
One embodiment of the present disclosure is provided with: an information acquisition portion; an information storage portion; an event extraction section; a region setting section; and a display section. The information storage portion adds, to medical information, a time at which the information acquisition portion acquires the medical information from each of multiple medical devices used in a surgery, and a label for specifying the medical information. The display section causes a display device to display, as medical information, an image including a surgery site and at least one event extracted by the event extraction section in a time region set by the region setting section based on the time added to the medical information.
