Abstract
Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing intelligent assistance ('IA') or extended intelligence (“EI”) ecosystem for pulmonary procedures. In various embodiments, a computing system might analyze received one or more first layer input data (i.e., room content-based data) and received one or more second layer input data (i.e., patient and/or tool-based data), and might generate one or more recommendations for guiding a medical professional in guiding a surgical device(s) toward and within a lung of the patient to perform a pulmonary procedure, based at least in part on the analysis, the generated one or more recommendations comprising 3D or 4D mapped guides toward, in, and around the lung of the patient. The computing system might then generate one or more XR images, based at least in part on the generated one or more recommendations, and might present the generated one or more XR images using a UX device.
