Abstract
An aspect includes a computer-implemented method that de-identifies data received from microphones. The method includes receiving data from one or more microphones and de-identifying the data. The de-identifying includes inputting the data into a machine learning system that has been trained to detect patterns in the data that are likely to identify a specific entity, and to remove the detected patterns from the data to generate de-identified data. An output from the machine learning system is received, where the output includes the de-identified data. According to some aspects, the microphones can be located in an operating room.
