Surgical network, instrument, and cloud responses based on validation of received dataset and authentication of its source and integrity

A method for validating data generated in a medical procedure, the method comprising:

• accessing, by a processor of at least one remote server, data generated in the performance of a medical procedure;
• analyzing, by the processor, the accessed data to determine validity of the accessed data, wherein valid data comprises unaltered data generated in the performance of the medical procedure and invalid data comprises altered data modified or created outside of the medical procedure;
• determining, by the processor, that the accessed data is generated from a validated medical instrument;
• determining, by the processor, that the accessed data contains at least one error;
• and
• preventing, by the processor, the integration of the at least one error into a larger dataset associated with the at least one remote server, wherein the larger dataset provides real time contextual information for intraoperative or perioperative changes, wherein preventing the at least one error from being integrated into the larger dataset comprises:
• flagging the at least one error in the accessed data;
• and
• identifying the validated medical instrument as containing a systematic error, wherein identifying the validated medical instrument as containing the systematic error comprises:
• configuring the validated medical instrument into a controlled situation;
• running a predefined routine on the validated medical instrument during the controlled situation;
• and
• comparing a response by the validated medical instrument during the predefined routine to a result.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• accessing data associated with a medical procedure, through a processor of at least one remote medical server;
• analyzing the accessed data to determine validity of the accessed data, wherein valid data comprises unaltered data generated in the performance of the medical procedure and invalid data comprises altered data modified or created outside of the medical procedure;
• determining that the accessed data is generated from a validated medical instrument;
• determining that the accessed data contains at least one error;
• and
• preventing the integration of the at least one error into a larger dataset associated with the at least one remote medical server, wherein the larger dataset provides real time contextual information for intraoperative or perioperative changes, wherein preventing the at least one error from being integrated into the larger dataset comprises:
• flagging the at least one error in the accessed data;
• and
• identifying the validated medical instrument as containing a systematic error, wherein identifying the validated medical instrument as containing the systematic error comprises:
• configuring the validated medical instrument into a controlled situation;
• running a predefined routine on the validated medical instrument during the controlled situation;
• and
• comparing a response by the validated medical instrument during the predefined routine to a result.
