Abstract: A system comprises a neuromonitoring system configured to generate nerve data regarding a state of a nerve of a patient during a surgical procedure on the patient. The system includes a robotic system configured to receive or generate, for the surgical procedure, location data that identifies a location of the nerve of the patient. The robotic system may cause the neuromonitoring system to be in either an active state or an inactive state based on the location data, where the active state is a state in which the neuromonitoring system provides the nerve data to the robotic system, while the inactive state is a state in which the neuromonitoring system does not provide the nerve data to the robotic system. The robotic system may further generate at least one control signal that implements one or more safeguards for the surgical procedure.

Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting surgical outcomes are provided. A surgical plan comprising information about a planned surgery and at least one preoperative image depicting a planned surgical result and at least one postoperative image depicting an actual surgical result resulting from execution of the planned surgery may be received. The postoperative image may be registered to the preoperative image. One or more features may be automatically identified in each of the postoperative image and the preoperative image. A difference may be automatically measured in at least one parameter of each of the one or more features to yield training data. A function for predicting the difference may be generated using artificial intelligence and based on the training data. The function may be applied to an unexecuted surgical plan.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for robot integrated segmental tracking are described. A system determines first positional information of one or more objects based on three-dimensional first image data captured by an imaging device, tracking information associated with the one or more objects, or both.

The reference positional information includes a registered location of the one or more objects. The system outputs an indication of the deviation between the first positional information and the reference positional information.
