Importance: Assessing nontechnical skills in operating rooms (ORs) is crucial for enhancing surgical performance and patient safety. However, automated and real-time evaluation of these skills remains challenging.
Objective: To explore the feasibility of using motion features extracted from surgical video recordings to automatically assess nontechnical skills during cardiac surgical procedures.
Cystoid macular edema (CME) is a sight-threatening condition often associated with inflammatory and diabetic diseases. Early detection is crucial to prevent irreversible vision loss. Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown promise in automating CME diagnosis through optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging, but its utility needs critical evaluation.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFResearch in aviation and driving has highlighted the importance of training as an effective approach to reduce the costs associated with the supervisory role of the human in automated systems. However, only a few studies have investigated the effect of training on highly automated driving. Moreover, available interactive trainings are mostly based on automated driving simulators and the application of immersive technology such as Virtual Reality (VR) as a low-cost training solution has not been widely adopted.
