Monitoring of user visual gaze to control which display system displays the primary information

A method performed by a surgical hub for controlling a display, the method comprising:

• determining a surgical task that uses a medical instrument during a medical procedure based on contextual data;
• determining a technique employed by a user during the surgical task;
• analyzing a performance of the technique employed by the user relative to a baseline using the contextual data;
• determining a corrective action when the performance of the technique deviates from the baseline, wherein the corrective action improves the technique and a surgical outcome;
• determining a data priority based on the corrective action, wherein the data priority adjusts a presentation of data preferred by the user by prioritizing information associated with the corrective action to improve the technique and improve the surgical outcome;
• generating a first message for a display based on the data priority, wherein the first message comprises an instruction that causes the display to reconfigure presentation of the contextual data to prioritize information associated with the corrective action over the data preferred by the user;
• generating a second message for the medical instrument to cause an adjustment of one or more operational parameters when the performance of the technique deviates from the baseline, wherein the adjustment improves operation of the medical instrument during the medical procedure;
• and
• sending the first message to the display and the second message to the medical instrument.

A surgical hub for controlling a display, the surgical hub comprising:

• a processor, the processor being configured to:
• determine a technique employed by a user during a surgical task, wherein the technique is associated with a medical instrument;
• analyze a performance of the technique employed by the user relative to a baseline;
• determine a corrective action when the performance of the technique deviates from the baseline, wherein the corrective action improves the technique and a surgical outcome;
• determine a data priority based on the corrective action, wherein the data priority adjusts a presentation of data preferred by the user by prioritizing information associated with the corrective action to improve the technique and improve the surgical outcome;
• generate a first message for a display based on the data priority, wherein the first message comprises an instruction that causes the display to reconfigure presentation of contextual data to prioritize information associated with the corrective action over the data preferred by the user;
