Autonomous Adaptation of Surgical Device Control Algorithm

A smart surgical device, the smart surgical device comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• receive, from a surgical hub, an updated control algorithm associated with the smart surgical device;
• determine the updated control algorithm is more up-to-date than a control algorithm that is installed on the smart surgical device;
• replace the control algorithm with the updated control algorithm;
• and
• operate using the updated control algorithm.

A method for autonomous surgical device control algorithm adaptation, the method comprising:

• receiving first operation data associated with a first surgical procedure and second operation data associated with a second surgical procedure, wherein the first operation data is associated with a first aspect of a control algorithm of a first surgical device, wherein the second operation data is associated with a first aspect of a control algorithm of a second surgical device, and wherein the first surgical device and second surgical device are of a first surgical device type;
• receiving first outcome data associated with the first surgical procedure and second outcome data associated with the second surgical procedure;
• determining that each of the control algorithm of the first surgical device and the control algorithm of the second surgical device is an up-to-date control algorithm associated with the first surgical device type;
• generating first aggregation data based on at least the first operation data, the second operation data, the first outcome data, and the second outcome data;
• based on at least the first aggregation data, determining, a correlation between the first aspect of the up-to-date control algorithm and outcome data;
• and
• based on the determined correlation, generating an updated up-to-date control algorithm.
