Navigated Control (NC) describes an additional control for a tracked power driven instrument within a preoperatively segmented work space. In head surgery the authors first implemented NC in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Recently the feasibility of NC for surgery on the petrosal bone is evaluated. NC in FESS and in petrosal bone surgery may reduce the risk of comorbidity and the time effort compared to the conventional surgical interventions.

Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom.
Background: Dementia is a complex health condition that poses challenges not only to people living with dementia (PLWD) but to their families, the health system and society as a whole. Even though there is still no cure for dementia, different interventions are showing substantial contribution. mHealth-based assistive technology has shown the potential to provide efficient healthcare for PLWD and their caregivers in cognitive training, health and safety monitoring, educational support, and socialization.

Department of Computer Science, Old Dominion University, United States.
Blind individuals, who by necessity depend on screen readers to interact with computers, face considerable challenges in navigating the diverse and complex graphical user interfaces of different computer applications. The heterogeneity of various application interfaces often requires blind users to remember different keyboard combinations and navigation methods to use each application effectively. To alleviate this significant interaction burden imposed by heterogeneous application interfaces, we present Savant, a novel assistive technology powered by large language models (LLMs) that allows blind screen reader users to interact uniformly with any application interface through natural language.
