The review found that emerging multimodal data-capturing technologies enable systematic collection and analysis of operating room data, offering benefits across clinical practice, education, and quality improvement. In otolaryngology, MODAL systems have shown value in supporting intraoperative checklist compliance, enhancing surgical training, and enabling postoperative review for patient safety analysis. These technologies also present growing opportunities for real-time decision support through integration with artificial intelligence and computer vision. Successful adoption requires careful attention to privacy, data management, institutional policy, and collaboration between clinical, technical, and administrative stakeholders.
