The Future is Here : Medtronic Innovation
surgeons are performing incredibly challenging procedures , some of the highest trained individuals in the world performing some of the most complex procedures . They ' re staring at a screen displaying camera footage , but they can ' t review it after the case .”
Touch Surgery™ Enterprise , the cloudbased video management and analytics platform from Medtronic solves that problem . Using this technology surgeons can easily record their cases and there are even added safeguards to protect patient information . When the ' camera is pulled out of a patient , Medtronic ’ s edge computer automatically pixilates the footage , utilising an AI algorithm . “ As soon as a surgeon finishes the case , they ' ve then got the footage that they can share with colleagues , without risking identifying patients .”
Through this footage , surgeons can review their work and use it to improve , as well as teach . And , with anatomy alone not enough to identify any one person , they avoid triggering any patient confidentiality concerns .
“ Think about the profound nature of being able to , within a click , share with a trainee or with a colleague something that ' s been surprising on a case . We ' ve build this
