Surgical Data Science: A Consensus Perspective
Surgical data science is a scientific discipline with the objective of
improving the quality of interventional healthcare and its value through
capturing, organization, analysis, and modeling of data. The goal of the 1st
workshop on Surgical Data Science was to bring together researchers working on
diverse topics in surgical data science in order to discuss existing
challenges, potential standards and new research directions in the field.
Inspired by current open space and think tank formats, it was organized in June
2016 in Heidelberg. While the first day of the workshop, which was dominated by
interactive sessions, was open to the public, the second day was reserved for a
board meeting on which the information gathered on the public day was processed
by (1) discussing remaining open issues, (2) deriving a joint definition for
surgical data science and (3) proposing potential strategies for advancing the
field. This document summarizes the key findings.Comment: 29 page
