Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring medical procedures. Particular embodiment's relate to monitoring medical procedures performed in operating room environments through the use of various types of sensors, including for example, wireless electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring systems. Presented are systems and methods directed to a monitor medical procedures, including in particular the mental state of medical personnel associated with such procedures. Exemplary embodiment's of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for monitoring medical procedures. Particular embodiment's relate to monitoring medical procedures performed in operating room environments through the use of various types of sensors, including for example, wireless electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring systems.

Abstract: An EEG kit can be thought of as “EEG In a Bag” (“EEG-IAB”). The EEG kit can provide a complete, disposable, fast, and easily-used platform to record EEG to measure brain activity. Other physiological information (e.g., oxygen saturation, ECG or EKG, etc.) or other information (e.g., local electrode motion) can also be recorded, such as in time-concordance with the recorded EEG signals. The recorded EEG and other information can be uplinked to a local or remote user interface. A local or remote neurologist can use the EEG information to render a diagnosis in tens of minutes, wherein such information can currently be unavailable, or can require a number of hours to obtain and diagnose. The EEG kit can be very convenient, and can be used in a hospital emergency department (ED), an intensive care unit (ICU), by a first responder, or can be deployed for emergency or disaster preparedness.

Abstract: Inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of physiological scan interpretation is herein described. A plurality of physiological scan interpretations may be collected for a physiological scan. A physiological scan interpretation reliability score may be calculated for the physiological scan based on the plurality of physiological scan interpretations. When the reliability score falls below a predetermined threshold, an additional physiological scan interpretation may be collected for the physiological scan. The reliability score may be recalculated using the additional physiological scan interpretation.

Abstract: A method and an instrument are presented for reliably, accurately and easily locating intracranial targets and guiding surgical instruments to intracranial targets in human patients. An adjustment apparatus and a portable guider 70 constitute main components of the invention. The method and instrument make use of images of natural reference points or fiducial markers found in CT/MRI images of patient's head. In accordance with the present method, after the adjustment apparatus is mechanically adjusted based on the information gathered from CT/MRI images, the adjustments are transferred by a special procedure to the portable guider. The portable guider is the only component employed during surgery, resulting in minimal general intrusion with the work of the surgeon.
