System and method for providing auditory guidance in medical systems
An auditory guidance system and method for medical systems and procedures are disclosed. A method for providing auditory guidance during a medical procedure includes selecting a song for playing during the medical procedure. At least a portion of the song is assigned to the medical procedure. Parameter information for at least one parameter associated with the medical procedure is obtained during the medical procedure. The obtained parameter information is compared against predetermined thresholds for each parameter. The portion of the song associated with the parameter information is modified in accordance with the comparison and the modified portion of the song is played to provide auditory guidance during the medical procedure.
1. A method for providing auditory guidance during a medical procedure, the method comprising:
selecting a song for playing during the medical procedure;
assigning at least a portion of the song to the medical procedure;
obtaining parameter information for at least one parameter associated with the medical procedure during the medical procedure;
comparing the obtained parameter information against predetermined thresholds for each parameter;
modifying the at least a portion of the song in accordance with the comparison; playing the modified portion of the song to provide auditory guidance; and
wherein the assigning further comprises assigning instruments from the song to parameters associated with the medical procedure.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein an audible characteristic of an instrument is modified in accordance with the comparison.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the assigning further comprises:
assigning sounds from the song to parameters associated with the medical procedure.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein an audible characteristic of a sound is modified in accordance with the comparison.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining baseline parameter information; and
setting predetermined thresholds using the baseline parameter information.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the assigning further comprises:
assigning a mode of playing of the song to at least a portion of the medical procedure.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the mode of playing the song is modified in accordance with the comparison.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein different modes of playing are associated with different portions of the medical procedure.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the parameter is a depth and width of an ablation target and the predetermined threshold is a dimensional variance of the depth and the width of the ablation target.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the parameter is target mapping information of an ablation target and the predetermined threshold is a presence or absence of the ablation target in a target mapping database.
