Abstract
A hardware platform includes adapters to interface with medical provisioning equipment involved in a remote robotic medical procedure at a patient site and a software system component, potentially cloud-based, to process real-time incoming data streams and a database to store the data streams for later use or archival. Each data stream can itself contain different types of sensory data. The software system component provides overall control and overrideable supervision over the remote robotic operations includes a state manager that synergistically processes the incoming data streams possibly of varying transmission rates, times of receipt or transmission, resolution, and quality. The state manager forms a near- or real-time virtual representation of the operative field. The software system component includes a data broker that can parse the RTVR into subsets data tailored to the needs of the medical provisioning and monitoring equipment, which may also be deployed and co-located at the patient site.
