An integrated real-time monitoring system based on AR and BCI was proposed for hands-free acquisition and visualization of remote data, with a case study focusing on monitoring patients' vitals in the operating room. Experimental tests at a university hospital in Italy demonstrated the system's effectiveness and reliability in terms of accuracy and delay.
An integrated real-time monitoring system based on Augmented Reality (AR) and Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) for hands-free acquisition and visualization of remote data is proposed. As a case study, the monitoring of patients' vitals in the operating room (OR) is considered; in particular, through the suitable combination of BCI and AR, the anesthetist can monitor in real-time (through a set of AR glasses), the patient's vitals acquired from the electromedical equipment. Healthcare-related applications are particularly demanding in terms of real-time requirements; hence, the considered scenario represents an interesting and challenging testbed for the proposed system. Experimental tests were carried out at the University Hospital Federico II (Naples, Italy), employing pieces of equipment that are generally available in the OR. After the preliminary functional validation, accuracy and delay were measured, demonstrating the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed AR-BCI-based monitoring system.
