The 2014-2015 City of Hope Tracking Team designed and prototyped a wearable package to monitor signals related to fatigue and stream real time video of an operation from a surgeon’s point of view. Data from this system will be used for educational purposes and to improve safety by monitoring surgeon fatigue in the operating room.
