Abstract
Embodiments described in this disclosure include a process for collecting energy tool usage data from surgical videos and using such data for post surgery analysis. The process can begin by receiving a plurality of surgical videos of a surgical procedure involving an energy tool. For each surgical video in the plurality of surgical videos, the process detects a set of activation events in the surgical video, wherein each detected activation event includes an identified starting timestamp and a duration. The process further extracts a set of energy tool usage data based on the set of detected activation events, and then stores the extracted set of energy tool usage data in a database indexed based on a set of energy tool usage metrics. Next, in response to a user search request, the process returns the stored energy tool usage data that matches the search request from the database.
