As robotic systems are now technically mature and widely available, they also play an increasingly important role in the clinical environment. Thus, numerous robotic assistance systems for diagnosis and therapy have shown their potential for supporting patient care. After a brief review of the history, this article describes currently available robotic assistance systems for surgery, especially those originating in Germany and Europe as well as current focal topics of research. In addition, challenges in this field as well as possibilities for close active and interdisciplinary cooperation between stakeholders from hospitals, industry and science to overcome such challenges are presented.

Objectives: The development of valuable artificial intelligence (AI) tools to assist with ultrasound diagnosis depends on algorithms developed using high-quality data. This study aimed to test the intra- and interobserver agreement of a proposed image-quality scoring system to quantify the quality of gynecological transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) images, which could be used in clinical practice and AI tool development.

Methods: A proposed scoring system to quantify TVS image quality was created following a review of the literature.

This article explores the existing research evidence on the potential effectiveness of lipreading as a communication strategy to enhance speech recognition in individuals with hearing impairment. A scoping review was conducted, involving a search of six electronic databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Engineering Village, CINAHL, and PsycINFO) for research papers published between January 2013 and June 2023. This study included original research papers with full texts available in English, covering all study designs: qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods.
