Video used to automatically populate a postoperative report

A computer-implemented method of populating a post-operative report of a surgical procedure, the method comprising:

• receiving an input of an identifier of a patient;
• receiving an input of an identifier of a health care provider;
• receiving an input of surgical footage of a surgical procedure performed on the patient by the health care provider;
• analyzing a plurality of frames of the surgical footage to identify phases of the surgical procedure based on detected interactions between medical instruments and biological structures and, based on the interactions, associate a name with each identified phase;
• determining at least a beginning of each identified phase;
• associating a time marker with the beginning of each identified phase;
• transmitting data to the health care provider, the transmitted data including the patient identifier, the names of the identified phases of the surgical procedure, and time markers associated with the identified phases;
• and
• populating a post-operative report with the transmitted data in a manner that enables the health care provider to alter the phase names in the post-operative report.

A system for automatically populating a post-operative report of a surgical procedure, the system comprising:

• at least one processor configured to:
• receive an input of an identifier of a patient;
• receive an input of an identifier of a health care provider;
• receive an input of surgical footage of a surgical procedure performed on the patient by the health care provider;
• analyze a plurality of frames of the surgical footage to identify phases of the surgical procedure based on detected interactions between medical instruments and biological structures and, based on the interactions, associate a name with each identified phase;
• determine at least a beginning of each identified phase;
• associate a time marker with the beginning of each identified phase;
• transmit data to the health care provider, the transmitted data including the patient identifier, the names of the identified phases of the surgical procedure, and the time marker of the identified phase;
• and
• populate a post-operative report with the transmitted data in a manner that enables the health care provider to alter the phase names in the post-operative report.
