Overview:
SEMIC Intelligent Video Analytics® (IVA) s designed to store a comprehensive communication record of all surgeons, assistants, and nurses during a procedure in the operating room. It automatically reminds medical professionals of the necessary actions to effectively and successfully perform surgical procedures and determine the most effective treatment methods for the patient.
Features:
1. Automatic Transcription and Analysis
SEMIC IVA® transcribes all spoken words, enabling participants to analyze conversations, recall important details, and secure necessary actions. For instance, it can remind a surgeon to administer a specific medication post-operation or ensure a medical instrument is properly prepared for reuse.
2. Workflow Activation
SEMIC IVA® can automatically initiate key medical procedure workflows, ensuring they are scheduled before upcoming surgeries. By recording and transcribing all comments, it unifies the need for additional manual and automatic information, allowing medical staff to focus on their tasks. This helps ensure the accuracy and completeness of surgical procedures, reducing the risk of errors or overlooked measures that could negatively impact patient care.
3. Actionable Steps and Reminders:
In the fast-paced environment of operating theaters, SEMIC IVA® helps track procedures by turning surgeon comments into actionable steps and reminders. It can activate alerts for sterilization, medication schedules, or equipment maintenance, ensuring that surgical procedures are performed on time and in the correct sequence without complications.
4. Emergency Communication:
SEMIC IVA® can function as a portable two-way radio, allowing surgeons to make emergency calls to other medical personnel not present in the operating theater. This feature is useful for requesting immediate provision of a missing medical device, instrument, or specific unit of blood.
5. Standardization and Best Practices:
SEMIC IVA® standardizes surgical workflows and patient care by aggregating information from multiple surgeons. It identifies best practices and suggests improvements, leading to a standardized approach for specific surgeries. This helps limit errors, increase operational efficiency, and achieve optimized treatment outcomes.
In summary, SEMIC Intelligent Video Analytics® (IVA) enhances surgical procedures by providing comprehensive communication records, automating workflows, ensuring critical actions are taken, facilitating emergency communication, and promoting standardization and best practices.
