Theator uses computer vision to record minimally invasive surgical (MIS) procedures automatically, with no manual intervention needed from the OR team. Open procedures require a manual recording trigger — see How do I record a case? for details. Here’s how automatic recording works for MIS:
Key Features of Automatic Recording
- Smart Detection: Theator's system employs computer vision to detect the initiation of the surgery with the first scope insertion ("first scope-in") and marks the conclusion when the last scope is removed ("last scope-out").
- Automatic Triggering: Based on these visual cues, Theator automatically triggers the start and stop of the recording. This ensures that the entire procedure is captured from beginning to end without any manual input.
Benefits
- Effortless Integration: The recording process is entirely hands-free, requiring no pressing of buttons, connecting of cables, or entering information. This allows the surgical team to focus solely on patient care without distractions.
- Comprehensive Coverage: By automating the recording process, Theator captures nearly 100% of minimally invasive surgical (MIS) procedures. This full coverage is crucial for thorough review, training, and quality assurance purposes.
- No Disruption to OR Workflow: The automatic recording operates in the background, ensuring there is no interruption to the OR staff's activities.
- Complete Procedure Capture: The system’s accuracy in detecting critical moments of surgery ensures that every significant part of the procedure is recorded, providing a valuable resource for subsequent review and analysis.
Automatic recording captures the full MIS procedure with no action needed from the surgical team. For open procedures, recording must be started manually.
