Digitizing Data Management for Intraoperative Neuromonitoring

Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IOM) enables a function-preserving surgical strategy for surgeries of brain or spinal cord pathologies by measurements. However, the IOM data management at neurosurgical institutions are often either not digitized inefficient in terms collecting, storing and processing data. Here, we describe development web application, called IOM-Manager, as first step towards complete digitization workflow. The application is used structured protocoling based on standardized protocol entry catalog, archiving, analysis. These functionalities results requirement engineering process analysis, survey with potential users market A usability test one team indicated IOM-Manager its other components can fact solve many problems existing solutions.
