스마트 수술실 구축을 위한 환자 모니터링 핵심 기반 기술 연구

초록

Over the past decade, the number of surgeries performed in South Korea has steadily increased. Along with this rise, disputes stemming from medical accidents have also grown, bringing smart operating rooms into the spotlight as a potential solution. This paper proposes a prevention system targeting the occurrence of pressure ulcers, one of the accidents that may arise in operating rooms. Since contact pressure is the primary cause of pressure ulcers, our study presents two frameworks for detecting contact pressure. First, we utilize pressure-sensing pads to obtain the patient’s condition and pinpoint the areas under pressure using ultra-high-resolution technology. Second, we propose a method to monitor the patient’s condition through photoplethysmography (PPG) and detect areas experiencing abnormally high pressure using an artificial intelligence algorithm that leverages fine-tuning and data augmentation techniques. The proposed frameworks achieved a 40 dB improvement relative to the input and an accuracy of 96%, respectively, demonstrating the potential to enhance patient monitoring by integrating artificial intelligence into smart operating rooms.
