Systems and methods for prevention of surgical mistakes

This invention describes a computer system designed to help surgeons avoid mistakes during operations. It works by using artificial intelligence to learn what specific body parts or tools should be visible at each stage of a medical procedure. The system then monitors the procedure and can control surgical equipment or alert the surgeon if something unexpected is detected. The claims specifically focus on the system identifying these expected objects and the current step of the procedure.

Why it matters: Filed before the latest wave of multimodal AI and foundation models. These advancements could significantly improve the system's ability to accurately determine expected objects and identify surgical steps from complex visual data.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedMachine learning, computer vision, surgical robotics, data systems.
