My impression is that it is more like a mechanic shop: people are doing their jobs, they're looking at the clock, thinking schedule, they're listening to music or radio, they're maybe casually arguing about something. They're used to their tools and instruments, they're in some sort of routine, everybody has their individual subdomain or specialty.
This stuff is tricky because you're not just coming up with a device, you're coming up with new human behavior in connection with the device. The human (anesthetist) needs to be won over by the physiological model, and then they need to actually be effective with it.
The funny anecdotes I've heard from an anesthetist were along the lines of "They're introducing new equipment that rings alarms about things I already know, so my job becomes turning those alarms off".
How far along with this process are you?
