Presenting at CAB 2025:
This project tackles critical communication barriers in noisy operating rooms using AI-based solutions. By integrating wearable technology and centralized audio systems, it improves speech clarity, reduces cognitive strain, and enhances interprofessional collaboration, fostering safety, accessibility, and efficiency in surgical care while offering scalable solutions for broader clinical environments.
