ABSTRACT
Patient safety and efficiency are top priorities in any surgical procedure. One effective way to achieve these objectives is to automate the logistical and routine tasks that occur in the operating suite. Inspired by smart assistant technology already widely used in the consumer sector, we engineered the Smart Hospital Assistant (SHA), a smart, voice-controlled virtual assistant that handles natural speech recognition while executing non-surgical functions to aid any surgery. In simulated procedures, the SHA reduced operating time, optimized surgical staff resources, and reduced the number of major touch-points that can lead to surgical site infections. The SHA holds promise not only for use in the operating theater, but also in understaffed healthcare environments where automation can improve healthcare delivery.
