Usage and technique analysis of surgeon / staff performance against a baseline to optimize device utilization and performance for both current and future procedures
Various systems and methods for evaluating a surgical staff are disclosed. A computer system, such as a surgical hub, can be configured to be communicably coupled to a surgical device and a camera. The computer system can be programmed to determine contextual information pertaining to a surgical procedure based at least in part on perioperative data received from the surgical device during a surgical procedure. Further, the computer system can visually determine a physical characteristic of a surgical staff member via the camera and compare the physical characteristic to a baseline to evaluate the surgical staff member.
1. A computer system configured to be communicably coupled to a surgical device and a camera, the computer system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computer system to:
receive perioperative data from the surgical device;
determine a surgical context based at least in part on the perioperative data, wherein the surgical context comprises a type of surgical procedure being performed;
receive an image of an individual via the camera;
determine a physical characteristic of the individual from the image;
retrieve a baseline physical characteristic corresponding to the surgical context; and
determine whether the physical characteristic of the individual deviates from the baseline physical characteristic.
2. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the physical characteristic comprises a posture of the individual.
3. The computer system of claim 2 , wherein the posture of the individual corresponds to a deviation from at least one body part position and a reference position.
4. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the physical characteristic comprises a wrist orientation of the individual.
5. The computer system of claim 4 , wherein the wrist orientation of the individual corresponds to an angle between a wrist of the individual and a surgical instrument held by the individual.
6. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the baseline physical characteristic comprises a previously recorded instance of the physical characteristic for the individual.
7. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the memory further stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computer system to provide a notification according to whether the physical characteristic deviates from the baseline physical characteristic.
8. The computer system of claim 7 , wherein the computer system provides the notification during a surgical procedure in which the perioperative data is received.
9. A computer-implemented method for tracking a physical characteristic of an individual, the computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by a computer system, perioperative data from a surgical device;
determining, by the computer system, a surgical context based at least in part on the perioperative data, wherein the surgical context comprises a type of tissue being operated on;
receiving, by the computer system, an image of the individual via a camera communicably coupled to the computer system;
determining, by the computer system, a physical characteristic of the individual from the image;
retrieving, by the computer system, a baseline physical characteristic corresponding to the surgical context; and
determining, by the computer system, whether the physical characteristic of the individual deviates from the baseline physical characteristic.
10. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the physical characteristic comprises a posture of the individual.
11. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the posture of the individual corresponds to a deviation from at least one body part position and a reference position.
12. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the physical characteristic comprises a wrist orientation of the individual.
13. The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , wherein the wrist orientation of the individual corresponds to an angle between a wrist of the individual and a surgical instrument held by the individual.
14. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the baseline physical characteristic comprises a previously recorded instance of the physical characteristic for the individual.
15. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , further comprising providing, by the computer system, a notification on a display according to whether the physical characteristic deviates from the baseline physical characteristic.
16. A computer system configured to be communicably coupled to a surgical device and a camera, the computer system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computer system to:
receive perioperative data from the surgical device;
determine a surgical context based at least in part on the perioperative data, wherein the surgical context comprises at least one of a type of surgical procedure being performed or a type of tissue being operated on;
receive an image of an individual via the camera;
determine a physical characteristic of the individual from the image;
transmit data identifying the physical characteristic and the surgical context to a remote computer system;
wherein the remote computer system determines a baseline physical characteristic corresponding to the surgical context and the physical characteristic according to data aggregated from a plurality of computer systems connected to the remote computer system; and
receive, from the remote computer system, whether the physical characteristic of the individual deviates from the baseline physical characteristic.
17. The computer system of claim 16 , wherein the remote computer system comprises a cloud computing system.
18. The computer system of claim 16 , wherein the physical characteristic comprises a posture of the individual.
19. The computer system of claim 18 , wherein the posture of the individual corresponds to a deviation from at least one body part position and a reference position.
20. The computer system of claim 16 , wherein the physical characteristic comprises a wrist orientation of the individual.
21. The computer system of claim 20 , wherein the wrist orientation of the individual corresponds to an angle between a wrist of the individual and a surgical instrument held by the individual.
