Abstract

A head-mounted device (HMD) and method for assisting a user during a surgical procedure. The HMD has a camera and display supported by a head-mountable structure. The display is positionable in front of eyes of the user. A controller accesses workflow data defining workflow steps associated with the surgical procedure. The controller obtains data from the camera related to an environment of the surgical procedure. The camera data is monitored to detect a deviation or a potential deviation from one or more of the workflow steps. The controller generates an instruction/recommendation to assist the user in taking action to address the deviation or the potential deviation. The instruction/recommendation is specifically tailored to workflow responsibilities of the user. A computer-generated image related to the instruction or the recommendation is provided on the display.
