ENHANCE WORKFLOW EFFICACY IN OPERATING THEATRESWITH SONY’S NUCLeUS

Enhance Workflow Efficacy in Operating Theatres with Sony’s NUCLeUS

Despite its disruptive nature, Covid-19 can be viewed as a catalyst for transforming knowledge sharing within healthcare facilities, and embracing new technology competencies that are better suited to address today’s health challenges.

As the leading supplier of AV/IT solutions, Sony delivers products, systems and applications to enable the creation and distribution of digital audiovisual content that adds value to businesses and their end users. Our intuitive healthcare solutions play a key role in the efficiency of information sharing in the medical field today and tomorrow, assisting medical professionals to simplify information sharing and collaboration.

The modern Operating Room (OR) is a busy place with a lot going on and multiple equipment – endoscopy, patient monitoring, ultrasound and more – each typically with its own dedicated screen. As surgeons are operating in the relatively confined space, they are often required to constantly turn their heads and change position to look at all these different screens. By sharing the necessary Sony’s NUCLeUS video-over-IP platform is placed at the core of the ecosystem to enhance ergonomics and team cooperation in the ORs and treatment rooms. Surgeons can effortlessly view any image they need on a single screen, whether it’s radiology or vital signs on a nearby monitor with the easy-touse system. Seamlessly routing live video and image sources to any surgical monitors within the OR, it provides a clear overview of the current procedure.

Further, live video and still images can also be routed to other screens within the facility when combined with Sony’s networked visual solutions, including our remote PTZ cameras The same clarity experienced in the OR is achieved, allowing surgeons to deliberate a procedure and seek a second opinion from colleagues who are not physically present in the room.

information at the appropriate timing, the overall workflow can be improved and helps to lessen the burden on medical staff.

NUCLeUS offers extra flexibility and attractive economies of scale to IT staff. Any type of video source or images can be digitised into an IP stream and carried by a universal network cable, achieving even more simpler physical connections between equipment. Digital content from endoscopes, surgical microscopes, room cameras and other sources within the OR can be recorded simultaneously for post-operative review and training purposes. Further, recorded content can also be associated with other patient records and stored centrally for secure access from anywhere over hospital-wide IP networks. This removes the need to keep dedicated recording equipment in each room. With a growing library of smart apps that add powerful and unique image enhancement as well as efficient workflow functions, NUCLeUS’ highly scalable, open architecture and vendor neutral approach allows the integration of new applications to enhance the power and flexibility in the future.

With over 25 years’ experience in delivering innovative market-leading medical products, Sony is known for providing exceptional quality and value to its customers.
