Providing auxiliary information regarding healthcare procedure and system performance using augmented reality

Last updated:

Abstract:

Techniques for providing information regarding healthcare performance in real-time using augmented reality are provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method comprises receiving input data generated in real-time during performance of a healthcare procedure by a user, including video captured of the user during the performance of the healthcare related procedure. The method further includes determining descriptive information characterizing the performance based on the input data, wherein the descriptive information characterizes at least actions performed by the user during the procedure, and determining whether an aspect of one of the actions currently being performed by the user deviates from a defined protocol for the healthcare related procedure based on comparison of the descriptive information with reference descriptive parameters for the healthcare related procedure. The method further includes determining feedback information regarding correction of the aspect in response to a determination that the aspect deviates from the defined protocol.
