Abstract

Provided are computer-implemented methods and systems for generating and/or utilizing data analysis algorithm(s) for providing operating instructions, enhancements and/or recommendations to optimize insertion of a medical instrument toward a target in a body of a patient based, inter alia, on data related to an automated medical device and/or to operation thereof.

Core Innovation

The invention provides a computer-implemented method for generating a data analysis algorithm that provides operating instructions, enhancements and/or recommendations related to insertion of a medical instrument toward a target in a body of a patient. The insertion of the medical instrument is facilitated using an automated medical device configured to steer the medical instrument toward the target, and the method collects one or more datasets including machine-generated parameters such as target position, target position updates, real-time medical instrument position, and motion control traces.

The method creates a training set comprising a first data portion of the one or more datasets and trains the data analysis algorithm to output one or more of an operating instruction, enhancement and recommendation related to steering a medical instrument toward the target in a body of a patient using the training set. The method validates the data analysis algorithm using a validation set comprising a second data portion of the one or more datasets.

The invention further includes real-time updating of a trajectory of the medical instrument based on the output of the data analysis algorithm. This real-time updating comprises automatic breathing synchronization of dynamic steering corrections that are executed by the automated medical device.

Claims Coverage

The partial content includes two independent claims. The inventive features are focused on dataset collection, training and validating one or more data analysis algorithms to output operating instructions, enhancements, recommendations, and corrective steering commands, and real-time trajectory updating with automatic breathing synchronization of dynamic steering corrections executed by the automated medical device.

Generating a data analysis algorithm with dataset-based training and validation for steering guidance

A computer-implemented method of generating a data analysis algorithm for providing operating instructions, enhancements and/or recommendations related to insertion of a medical instrument toward a target in a body of a patient, including collecting one or more datasets with machine-generated parameters, creating a training set, training the data analysis algorithm to output operating instruction, enhancement and recommendation using the training set, and validating the data analysis algorithm using a validation set comprising a second data portion.

Real-time trajectory updating with automatic breathing synchronization of dynamic steering corrections

Real-time updating of a trajectory of the medical instrument based on the output of the data analysis algorithm, wherein the updating comprises automatic breathing synchronization of dynamic steering corrections, and wherein the steering corrections are executed by the automated medical device.

Optimizing operation by generating and applying one or more data analysis algorithms to new datasets for corrective steering commands

A method of optimizing an operation of an automated medical device using one or more data analysis algorithms, including generating one or more data analysis algorithms by collecting one or more existing datasets, creating a training set, training the one or more data analysis algorithms using the training set, and validating using a validation set; then utilizing the generated one or more data analysis algorithms by collecting one or more new datasets, applying the one or more data analysis algorithms to at least a portion of the one or more new datasets, and obtaining results including operating instruction, operating enhancement and recommendation, and a set of corrective steering commands based on real-time target tracking.

Allowing real-time trajectory updating to facilitate automatic steering correction with automatic breathing synchronization

Allowing real-time updating of a trajectory of the medical instrument, thereby facilitating automatic steering correction based on the corrective steering commands, wherein the real-time updating comprises automatic breathing synchronization of dynamic steering corrections executed by an automated medical device.

Across the independent claims, the core coverage centers on training one or more data analysis algorithms using collected existing datasets with machine-generated parameters such as target position, target position updates, real-time medical instrument position, and motion control traces, to output operating instructions, enhancements, recommendations, and corrective steering commands, combined with real-time trajectory updating that includes automatic breathing synchronization of dynamic steering corrections executed by the automated medical device.

Stated Advantages

Facilitating automatic steering correction based on corrective steering commands via real-time updating of a trajectory with automatic breathing synchronization.

Documented Applications

Providing operating instructions, enhancements and/or recommendations related to insertion of a medical instrument toward a target in a body of a patient using an automated medical device that steers the instrument.

Generating results including a set of corrective steering commands based on real-time target tracking to support real-time updating and automatic steering correction during insertion and steering of a medical instrument toward a target in the patient body.
