Highlights
Networking in the Operating Room as the Basis for Intelligent Assistance
VECTOR MEDICAL ENGINEERING DAY | KEYNOTE | OCTOBER 25, 2023
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Oliver Burgert | Medical Informatics | Reutlingen University
The increasing complexity of surgical procedures has led to the need for more digitized assistance systems in order to enhance surgical capabilities and improve safety and efficiency. These advanced systems should be intelligent enough to identify the specific assistance functions required during surgery and provide them seamlessly with minimal user interaction.
This ideal operating room (OR) assistance relies on a combination of different hardware and software systems that can recognize and respond to the current situation within the OR. To fully utilize the potential of these systems, they must be able to interact and communicate with each other.
The lecture explores various levels of networking that enable this seamless integration, presents a system architecture that facilitates intelligent behavior within the OR, and offers a glimpse into the future of intelligent assistance systems.

Validation of Artificial Intelligence: Challenges and Approaches Using the Example of AI-based Pulse Measurement
VECTOR MEDICAL ENGINEERING DAY | LECTURE | OCTOBER 25, 2023
Dr. Khanlian Chung | Vector
The use of artificial intelligence in a regulated environment such as medical technology is associated with numerous challenges. AI is very different from traditional rule-based algorithms and therefore requires new methods for validating AI. One of the most important requirements for AI is explainability and transparency. Using the example of an AI-based pulse measurement, we show the difficulties of an AI validation and our solution approaches.
