Medical Video Annotation

This task dissects medical visuals—think “incision” marked in a surgery clip or “gait shift” tagged in a rehab feed (e.g., “tumor” circled, “probe” tracked)—to guide AI through the body’s complexities. Our team labels these frames, powering healthcare tech with clinical clarity.

Where Open Active Comes In - Experienced Project Management

Project managers (PMs) are critical in orchestrating the annotation and structuring of data for Medical Video Annotation within video processing workflows.

We handle strategic oversight, team coordination, and quality assurance, with a strong focus on training and onboarding workers to label medical video datasets that enhance AI’s diagnostic and procedural capabilities.

Training and Onboarding

PMs design and implement training programs to ensure workers master anatomical tagging, procedure labeling, and motion tracking. For example, they might train teams to mark “stitch” in an operation or tag “joint flex” in a scan, guided by sample footage and medical standards. Onboarding includes hands-on tasks like annotating clips, feedback loops, and calibration sessions with clinical experts to align outputs with AI health goals. PMs also establish workflows, such as multi-expert reviews for critical scenes.

Task Management and Quality Control

Beyond onboarding, PMs define task scopes (e.g., annotating 10,000 medical video frames) and set metrics like label accuracy, motion precision, or clinical relevance. They track progress via dashboards, address annotation errors, and refine methods based on worker insights or updated medical protocols.

Collaboration with AI Teams

PMs connect annotators with machine learning engineers, translating clinical requirements (e.g., high precision for small lesions) into actionable annotation tasks. They also manage timelines, ensuring labeled datasets align with AI training and deployment schedules.

We Manage the Tasks Performed by Workers

The annotators, taggers, or medical analysts perform the detailed work of labeling and structuring medical video datasets for AI training. Their efforts are visual and clinically informed, requiring precision and medical context awareness.

Labeling and Tagging

For video data, we might tag actions as “cut” or “scan.” In complex tasks, they label specifics like “bleeding site” or “tool motion.”

Contextual Analysis

Our team decodes footage, boxing “nerve” in a surgery or tracking “arm lift” in therapy, ensuring AI grasps every medical move.

Flagging Violations

Workers review datasets, flagging mislabels (e.g., “artery” as “vein”) or unclear frames (e.g., blurry tools), maintaining dataset quality and trust.

Edge Case Resolution

We tackle complex cases—like subtle anomalies or overlapping actions—often requiring frame-by-frame analysis or escalation to medical specialists.

We can quickly adapt to and operate within our clients’ video platforms, such as proprietary medical tools or industry-standard systems, efficiently processing batches of data ranging from dozens to thousands of frames per shift, depending on the complexity of the footage and annotations.

Data Volumes Needed to Improve AI

The volume of annotated medical video data required to enhance AI systems varies based on the diversity of procedures and the model’s complexity. General benchmarks provide a framework, tailored to specific needs:

Baseline Training

A functional medical model might require 5,000–20,000 annotated frames per category (e.g., 20,000 surgical clips). For varied or rare conditions, this could rise to ensure coverage.

Iterative Refinement

To boost accuracy (e.g., from 85% to 95%), an additional 3,000–10,000 frames per issue (e.g., missed motions) are often needed. For instance, refining a model might demand 5,000 new annotations.

Scale for Robustness

Large-scale applications (e.g., hospital-wide AI) require datasets in the hundreds of thousands to handle edge cases, rare procedures, or new techniques. An annotation effort might start with 100,000 frames, expanding by 25,000 annually as systems scale.

Active Learning

Advanced systems use active learning, where AI flags tricky frames for further labeling. This reduces total volume but requires ongoing effort—perhaps 500–2,000 frames weekly—to sustain quality.

The scale demands distributed teams, often hundreds or thousands of workers globally, coordinated by PMs to ensure consistency and clinical precision across datasets.
