To achieve the benefits of an Intelligent Operating Room (OR), we envision an OR control center--a voice-controlled network of medical devices. This central controller allows doctors and nurses to control many smart devices in a minimally-invasive OR, in the same way the operating system of a personal computer allows users to control computer peripherals, such as a printer or modem. Surgeons in the OR may use voice commands to control surgical devices when their hands are busy. In addition, the OR staff may use a touch-sensitive display panel to control any device in the OR from a single, convenient location. As an example, this paper describes a new 'operating system for the OR', called HERMES. Because of the unique demands of the Intelligent OR, the design of such a voice-control network involves several challenges: safety, reliability and ease of use. This paper discusses the design strategies for the HERMES control network and presents findings from the use of commercial HERMES in operating rooms.
为实现智能手术室（OR）的优势，我们设想了一个手术室控制中心——一个由医疗设备组成的语音控制网络。这个中央控制器使医生和护士能够在微创手术室中控制许多智能设备，就如同个人计算机的操作系统允许用户控制计算机外围设备（如打印机或调制解调器）一样。当手术室中的外科医生双手忙碌时，他们可以使用语音指令来控制手术设备。此外，手术室工作人员可以使用触摸感应显示屏从一个方便的单一位置控制手术室中的任何设备。例如，本文描述了一种名为HERMES的新型“手术室操作系统”。由于智能手术室的独特需求，这种语音控制网络的设计面临若干挑战：安全性、可靠性和易用性。本文讨论了HERMES控制网络的设计策略，并展示了在手术室中使用商用HERMES的研究结果。
