Systems and methods for medical procedure monitoring

A medical procedure monitoring system comprising:

• a computer readable medium comprising a plurality of standards for a medical procedure;
• a plurality of sensors, wherein the plurality of sensors are located in an operating room and each sensor is configured to:
• detect a parameter of a component used in the medical procedure;
• and
• provide an output based on the parameter of the component detected;
• and
• a plurality of lights to indicate a proper position of a medical instrument on an instrument table;
• a computer processor configured to:
• receive the output from each sensor;
• and
• compare the output from each sensor to a standard from the plurality of standards for the medical procedure,
• wherein:
• the medical procedure monitoring system is configured to detect the parameter of the component used in the medical procedure and provide the output based on the parameter of the component detected in real-time;
• the plurality of sensors comprises a light sensor to detect when the medical instrument has been removed from the instrument table;
• the output from each sensor automatically provides an n-tuple (T1, T2, . . . , Tn) of positive real numbers for the medical procedure to a mathematical model, where the n-tuple (T1, T2, . . . , Tn) indicates the time at which each specific targeted event occurs and represents a time portrait of the medical procedure;
• and
• the medical procedure monitoring system is configured to:
• register the time portrait of the medical procedure in a data set;
• compute an average standard time portrait of the medical procedure and a dispersion around the average time portrait;
• and
• automatically classify the medical procedure as standard or nonstandard based on the time portrait of the medical procedure.
