The context-aware operating room in the surgical treatment process in minimally invasive visceral surgery (A01)

• Subject Area: General and Visceral Surgery ; Image and Language Processing, Computer Graphics and Visualisation, Human Computer Interaction, Ubiquitous and Wearable Computing
• Term: from 2012 to 2017
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 211469636

The vision of the project is a cognitive surgical assistant for laparoscopic surgery which provides a context-aware assistance function, e.g. the prediction of complications or robotic assistance functions. The focus is a process-orientated analysis of the whole surgical treatment path based on the operation room of the future. Therefore sensor- as well as patient-data is analyzed and interpreted with regard to historical treatment cases.
