Abstract: Multiple image capture devices are located in an operating room to capture video of the entirety of the operating room. A surgical tracking server applies one or more models to the captured video to determine states of objects in the operating room from which a phase of the operating room is determined. A surgical time-out where information about a surgical procedure is audibly provided by people in the operating room during the surgical procedure. From audio and video of the operating room, the surgical tracking server determines whether the time-out was performed and identifies audio and video corresponding to the surgical time-out. The identified audio and video are compared to criteria to evaluate completeness of the surgical time-out. A quality metric for the time out based on the captured video data based on characteristics of the video or audio of the operating room may also be generated.

Abstract: Multiple image capture devices are located in an operating room to capture video of the entirety of the operating room. A surgical tracking server applies one or more models to the captured video to determine states of objects in the operating room. From the determined states, the surgical tracking system determines a phase of the operating room. The determined phase may indicate an availability of the operating room to perform surgery or a status of a surgery being performed in the operating room. An interface identifying the operating and the determined phase of the operating room is generated and displayed to one or more users. The interface may identify a length of time the operating room is in a phase, allowing a user to monitor availability and use of the operating room. Additionally, notifications about a phase of the operating room may be transmitted to users.
