Abstract
Various systems and methods are provided for surgical and interventional planning, support, post-operative follow-up, and functional recovery tracking. In general, a patient can be tracked throughout medical treatment including through initial onset of symptoms, diagnosis, non-surgical treatment, surgical treatment, and recovery from the surgical treatment. In one embodiment, a patient and one or more medical professionals involved with treating the patient can electronically access a comprehensive treatment planning, support, and review system. The system can provide recommendations regarding diagnosis, non-surgical treatment, surgical treatment, and recovery from the surgical treatment based on data gathered from the patient and the medical professional(s). The system can manage the tracking of multiple patients, thereby allowing for data comparison between similar aspects of medical treatments and for learning over time through continual data gathering, analysis, and assimilation to decision-making algorithms.

31. A medical system, comprising:
a processor configured to; receive plan data regarding a virtual performance of a surgical procedure on a patient; receive performance data regarding an actual performance of the surgical procedure on the patient, the performance data being received in real time with the actual performance of the surgical procedure, and the virtual performance of the surgical procedure having been performed prior to the actual performance of the surgical procedure; determine if the plan data varies from the performance data; if the plan data is determined to vary from the performance data, provide a warning to a user, the warning including an indication of the determined variance, and repeat the determining for subsequent performance data received in real time with the actual performance of the surgical procedure; and if the plan data is determined to not vary from the performance data, repeat the determining for subsequent performance data received in real time with the actual performance of the surgical procedure. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 35, 36)
