An alert module is configured to alert an operator upon the detection of an adverse condition.
Claims253
A system for monitoring a medical procedure performed in a clinical environment comprising:
- an audio recorder constructed and arranged to produce a verbal data signal representative of verbal communication that occurs in the clinical environment;
- a data analyzer constructed and arranged to receive the verbal data signal from the audio recorder, analyze the verbal data signal and detect at least one adverse condition;
- and
- an alert module constructed and arranged to alert at least one operator when the at least one adverse condition is detected by the data analyzer,
- wherein the data analyzer comprises a threshold, and wherein the detection of the at least one adverse condition is based on data extracted from the verbal data signal exceeding the threshold.
