The patient was diagnosed with lung cancer and anomalous systemic arterial supply to the basal segment of the left lung (ABLL), necessitating surgical intervention. Thoracoscopic surgery was performed, with the left upper segmentectomy guided by Indocyanine green (ICG) to facilitate precise intersegmental plane identification. The two aberrant arteries were resected, and the perfusion area supplied by these arteries was excised using repeated ICG intravenous injection.

These data and related processes form a basis for so called data-driven management of occupational health and safety. To collect such data and keep it updated, it is important to pay attention to: a) worker acceptance, b) user friendliness, c) data validity, integrity, and protection, d) adequate resources, and e) ethical and effective use of the data. The current literature suggests that there are promising mobile and wearable devices and eHealth solutions to support worker health.
