  • Publication number: 20230290278
    Abstract: A method and system of tracking and analyzing data during a medical procedure is provided. A wearable sensor (e.g. EEG system to obtain EEG signals) is worn by a practitioner, where the wearable sensor covers a body part of the practitioner. The practitioner performs a medical procedure on a person. The medical procedure is video recorded. A computer system digitally registers the medical procedure by registering (i) the digital data from the wearable sensor, and (ii) the digital data of the video recording. The computer system synchronizes the registered digital data of (i) and (ii) into a synchronized data set, and sections are then identified for the synchronized data set. The computer system generates sensor data maps from the synchronized data set and the identified sections, which are then useful for the practitioner, colleagues and other learners for feedback and training purposes.

  • Patent number: 11651705
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for tracking manipulation data. A wearable sensor array is capable of providing force data, motion data and location data. A body part of a person is covered with the wearable sensor array. The body part of the person is being manipulated through the wearable sensor array, and then a computer system obtains sensor data from the wearable sensor array. The computer system generates a force, motion and location map based on the obtained sensor data which is useful for a variety of purposes as detailed herein.

  • Publication number: 20180158371
    Abstract: A system for medical training includes an anatomical simulator modeled after at least a portion of a body, the simulator including at least one external surface, and at least one cavity in fluidic communication with the external surface via a cavity The system further includes at least one internal sensor positioned at an internal location of the anatomical simulator, the internal sensor positioned to receive an internal input based on forces applied from within the cavity, at least one external sensor positioned at an external location of the anatomical simulator and to receive an external input based on forces applied to the external surface, and a feedback display system in communication with the sensors to simultaneously record external sensor readings from the at least one external sensor and internal sensor readings from the at least one internal sensor and at least one time measurement device.
