Cloud-based medical analytics for linking of local usage trends with the resource acquisition behaviors of larger data set
View Patent ↗A cloud-based analytics medical system comprises a processor, a memory, an input/output interface to access data from medical hub communication devices, each coupled to a surgical instrument, and a database to store the data. The processor aggregates patient outcome data from the medical hubs. Patient outcome data comprises data pertaining to steps performed and corresponding timings for each step in patient procedures, to an outcome of each patient procedure performed, and to medical resources used in the patient procedures. Patient outcome data comprises location data describing which medical facility the medical resource was allocated to and data indicating whether the outcome was a success or failure. The processor aggregates medical resource acquisition data from the medical hubs, determines correlation between positive outcomes and the resource acquisition data, generates medical recommendations based on the correlation, and causes display of medical recommendations to medical hubs located at different medical facilities.
1. A cloud based analytics medical system comprising:
at least one processor;
at least one memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor;
an input/output interface configured for accessing data from a plurality of medical hub communication devices, each communicatively coupled to at least one surgical instrument; and
a database residing in the at least one memory and configured to store the data; wherein the at least one memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor to:
aggregate medical instrument data from the plurality of medical hubs, the medical instrument data comprising:
data pertaining to physical and performance parameters of medical devices;
for each datum pertaining to the medical device:
usage data pertaining to medical procedures that utilized the medical device; and for each medical procedure:
an outcome of the medical procedure; and
a status of a condition of the medical device during the medical procedure;
determine a correlation between the outcomes of the medical procedures and the statuses of the conditions of the medical devices utilized in the respective medical procedures;
access live medical procedure data for a live medical procedure, the live medical procedure data comprising a description of the medical devices present in an operating room that is performing the live medical procedure;
determine an irregularity in the description of the medical devices present in the live medical procedure, based on the determined correlation between the outcomes and the medical devices utilized; and
provide an alert to a medical communication hub that is utilized in the operating room of the live medical procedure.
2. The cloud based analytics medical system of claim 1 , wherein the medical devices present in the operating room comprise a manual medical instrument and a robotic medical instrument.
3. The cloud based analytics medical system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to generate a change in firmware or software of a medical device present in the live medical procedure in concert with the provided alert.
4. The cloud based analytics medical system of claim 1 , wherein the irregularity comprises use of a medical resource in a medical device present in the live medical procedure that is inconsistent with the aggregated medical instrument data pertaining to the medical procedure.
5. The cloud based analytics medical system of claim 1 , wherein the alert comprises an instruction to change a firing or clamping speed of a medical device present in the live medical procedure.
6. The cloud based analytics medical system of claim 1 , wherein the alert comprises an instruction to change an ultrasonic blade length of a medical device present in the live medical procedure.
7. The cloud based analytics medical system of claim 1 , wherein the alert comprises a haptic response to at least one medical device among the medical devices present in the live medical procedure.
8. The cloud based analytics medical system of claim 1 , wherein the alert comprises an auditory response to at least one medical device among the medical devices present in the live medical procedure.
9. The cloud based analytics medical system of claim 1 , wherein the irregularity comprises a difference in what number or type of the medical devices are present in the live medical procedure.
10. The cloud based analytics medical system of claim 1 , wherein the irregularity comprises a difference in what materials are used to create a product mix in the live medical procedure.
