Each extra minute in a robotic surgery increases patient risk and medical expenses. However, novice surgeons and small hospitals often lack the necessary resources to improve their skills and efficiency. ScrubSmart is a platform designed to address this issue by focusing on enhancing the performance of novice robotic surgeons, leading to optimized patient care and case efficiency.
By integrating extensive medical data with the power of machine learning, ScrubSmart suggests focused goals to surgeons as well as access to relevant learning resources from experts across hospitals. The system contextualizes real-time data capture and active expert feedback to facilitate a continuous process of optimization throughout the surgeon’s workflow.
