Method for adaptive control schemes for surgical network control and interaction
A method for adaptive control of surgical network control and interaction is disclosed. The surgical network includes a surgical feedback system. The surgical feedback system includes a surgical instrument, a data source, and a surgical hub configured to communicably couple to the data source and the surgical instrument. The surgical hub includes a control circuit. The method includes receiving, by the control circuit, information related to devices communicatively coupled to the surgical network; and adaptively controlling, by the control circuit, the surgical network based on the received information.
1. A method for adaptively controlling a surgical network based on validating data purportedly generated in a surgical procedure, the surgical network comprising a medical hub, at least one remote server communicatively coupled to the medical hub, and a medical instrument communicatively coupled to the medical hub, the at least one remote server is configured to access the data, validate the data to determine if the data is validly generated by the surgical procedure, determine that the data contains at least one flaw or error, and improve data integrity by preventing the at least one flaw or error from being integrated into a larger dataset associated with the at least one remote server, the method comprising:
receiving, by the at least one remote server, information related to a surgical procedure from a device communicatively coupled to the surgical network;
validating, by the at least one remote server, the received information; and
adaptively adjusting, by the at least one remote server, the surgical network based on the received information, wherein adaptively adjusting the surgical network comprises adaptively controlling an operating parameter of the medical instrument, wherein the medical instrument comprises an end effector, and wherein the operating parameter comprises a firing speed.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, determining, by the at least one remote server, the presence of a sequential trend or pattern in the received information that is common to surgical procedures.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, identifying, by the at least one remote server, an encrypted validation key associated with the device communicatively coupled to the surgical network.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, analyzing, by the at least one remote server, the received information to determine the presence of a sequential trend or pattern in the received information that is unique to a type of surgical procedure that purportedly occurred when the received information was generated.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, receiving, by the at least one remote server, a report of a malicious actor from another medical hub.
6. A surgical network for validating data purportedly generated in a surgical procedure, the surgical network comprising:
a medical hub;
a medical instrument communicably coupled to the medical hub, the medical instrument comprising an end effector; and
at least one remote server communicably coupled to the medical hub, the at least one remote server configured to access the data, validate the data to determine if the data is validly generated by the surgical procedure, determine that the data contains at least one flaw or error, and improve data integrity by preventing the at least one flaw or error from being integrated into a larger dataset associated with the at least one remote server;
wherein the at least one remote server receives information related to the surgical procedure from a device communicatively coupled to the surgical network and validates the received information;
wherein the at least one remote server adaptively adjusts the surgical network based on the received information; and
wherein adaptively adjusting the surgical network comprises adaptively controlling a firing speed of the medical instrument.
7. The surgical network of claim 6 wherein the at least one remote server is further configured to determine the presence of a sequential trend or pattern in the received information that is common to surgical procedures.
8. The surgical network of claim 6 wherein the at least one remote server is further configured to identify an encrypted validation key associated with the device communicatively coupled to the surgical network.
9. The surgical network of claim 6 wherein the at least one remote server is further configured to analyze the received information to determine the presence of a sequential trend or pattern in the received information that is unique to a type of surgical procedure that purportedly occurred when the received information was generated.
10. The surgical network of claim 6 wherein the at least one remote server is further configured to receive a report of a malicious actor from another medical hub.
11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for adaptively controlling a surgical network based on validating data purportedly generated in a surgical procedure, the surgical network comprising a medical hub, at least one remote server communicatively coupled to the medical hub, and a medical instrument communicatively coupled to the medical hub, wherein the at least one remote server is configured to access the data, validate the data to determine if the data is validly generated by the surgical procedure, determine that the data contains at least one flaw or error, and improve data integrity by preventing the at least one flaw or error from being integrated into a larger dataset associated with the at least one remote server, the instructions, when executed by a processor cause the at least one remote server to:
receive information related to a surgical procedure from a device communicatively coupled to the surgical network;
validate the received information; and
adaptively adjust the surgical network based on the received information, wherein adaptively adjusting the surgical network comprises adaptively controlling at least one surgical function operating parameter of the medical instrument, wherein the medical instrument comprises an end effector, and wherein the at least one surgical function operating parameter comprises a firing speed.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the at least one remote server to determine the presence of a sequential trend or pattern in the received information that is common to surgical procedures.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the at least one remote server to identify an encrypted validation key associated with the device communicatively coupled to the surgical network.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the at least one remote server to analyze the received information to determine the presence of a sequential trend or pattern in the received information that is unique to a type of surgical procedure that purportedly occurred when the received information was generated.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the at least one remote server to receive a report of a malicious actor from another medical hub.
