Summary Abstract: This research has developed a real-time monitoring system to capture spatio-temporal data and identity on
operational stuffs at an operating room using the ultrasonic 3D tag technology. We also propose methods for data
visualization and data mining to extract spatio-temporal patterns during an operation. Further, we supply the acquired
information to the surgical headquarters, where a general manager, typically an expert surgeon, is permanently stationed
and remotely supports an operation. By integrating the data we provide and other information available at the surgical
headquarters including camera captured images and audio data, the manager supervises the teamwork among
operational stuffs and the use between intelligent surgical instruments and other medical equipments. Ultimately the
integrated multi-dimensional information contributes detecting normal/abnormal patterns, transitions, and key
signatures that dynamically supports an operation via the surgical headquarters.
