Data handling and prioritization in a cloud analytics network

A system for prioritizing critical medical data in a cloud network comprising:

• a central server communicably coupled to one or more surgical hubs, wherein the central server is remotely located respective to a first surgical hub, and wherein the central server is configured to:
• receive a first plurality of data from the first surgical hub, wherein the first plurality of data comprises metadata that is indicative of data criticality, and wherein the first plurality of data correspond to a medical event of a first surgical device;
• analyze the first plurality of data to determine a classification status corresponding to the first surgical device, wherein the classification status indicates whether the first plurality of data comprises critical data;
• verify the classification status of the first surgical device;
• prioritize the first plurality of data corresponding the first surgical device, wherein the classification status of the first surgical device has been verified as corresponding to critical data, and wherein the first surgical device is assigned a priority escalation status;
• store the plurality of data in a separate memory location according to the assigned escalation priority status, and wherein the separate memory location is a separate partition in memory from non-critical data.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, when executed by one or more processors, perform operations comprising:

• receiving a first plurality of data from a first surgical hubs, wherein the first plurality of data comprises metadata that is indicative of data criticality, and wherein the first plurality of data correspond to a medical event of a first surgical device;
• analyzing the first plurality of data to determine a classification status corresponding to the first surgical device, wherein the classification status indicates whether the first plurality of data comprises critical data;
• verifying the classification status of the first surgical device;
• prioritizing the first plurality of data corresponding the first surgical device, wherein the classification status of the first surgical device has been verified as corresponding to critical data, and wherein the first surgical device is assigned a priority escalation status;
• storing the plurality of data in a separate memory location according to the assigned escalation priority status, and wherein the separate memory location is a separate partition in memory from non-critical data.
