q2 · i? · review · r2

The review attributes this finding to sensor-based behavior metric studies of surgical teams (citing Cha et al and Dias et al), in which human NOTSS ratings assigned teams to low and high SA groups and digital movement metrics were compared between them.

"The time a team member spent close to the primary operating surgeon was a predictor of their NOTSS score."
