Abstract
A medical augmented reality (AR) guidance system providing procedure instruction data to a user using a medical equipment system to perform a procedure. The AR guidance system gathers also comprises an analysis module configured to analyze medical procedure result data, for example, if the medical procedure result data comprises one or more ultrasound images, the analysis module may be configured to analyze the one or more ultrasound images for the presence of one or more kidney stones, the presence of one or more blood clots, or the presence of one or more blockages in one or more blood vessels.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a controller configured to generate medical procedure instruction data;
- a medical equipment system configured for a user to perform a medical procedure on a patient, wherein said medical equipment system comprises at least one tool manipulable by said user in the performance of said medical procedure, and wherein said medical equipment system generates medical procedure result data during at least a portion of said medical procedure, and wherein said medical equipment system is further configured to provide, to said controller, medical equipment system data relating to an operation of said medical equipment system and comprising medical procedure result data;
- at least one tool condition sensor configured to provide, to said controller, tool condition data relating to one or more of a movement, a position, an orientation, and a status of said tool during at least a portion of said medical procedure, wherein said controller generates said medical procedure instruction data based at least in part on said tool condition data;
- an augmented reality user interface (ARUI), wherein said ARUI presents medical procedure instruction data, generated by said controller, to said user during at least a portion of said medical procedure;
- and
- an analysis module configured to analyze the medical procedure result data.
3 more elements
A method, comprising:
- providing, by at least one tool condition sensor, tool condition data relating to one or more of a movement, a position, an orientation, and a status of at least one tool manipulable by a user of a medical equipment system during at least a portion of a medical procedure performed on a patient by a user;
- generating, by a controller, medical procedure instruction data based at least in part on said tool condition data;
- presenting, by an augmented reality user interface (ARUI), said medical procedure instruction data to said user during at least a portion of said medical procedure;
- generating, by said medical equipment system during said medical procedure, medical procedure result data, and
- analyzing, by an analysis module, said medical procedure result data.
2 more elements
A guidance system for providing real-time augmented reality (AR) feedback guidance in a use of a medical equipment system, said guidance system comprising:
- a medical equipment interface to said medical equipment system, wherein said medical equipment interface is capable of receiving data from said medical equipment system during a medical procedure performed by a user;
- an augmented reality user interface (ARUI) for presenting data pertaining to both real and virtual objects to said user during at least a portion of said performance of said medical procedure;
- a guidance system (GS) that is capable of sensing real-time user positioning data relating to one or more of a movement, position, and orientation of at least a portion of said medical equipment system during said medical procedure performed by said user;
- a library containing 1) stored reference positioning data relating to one or more of said movement, position, and orientation of at least a portion of said medical equipment system during a reference medical procedure and 2) stored reference outcome data relating to an outcome of said reference medical procedure;
- and
- a machine learning module (MLM) for providing at least one of 1) position-based AR feedback to said user based on said sensed user positioning data and said reference positioning data, and 2) outcome-based AR feedback to said user based on data received from said medical equipment system during said medical procedure performed by said user and reference outcome data;
- and
- an analysis module configured to analyze medical procedure result data generated by said medical equipment system during said medical procedure.
