The feasibility of using in-ear [Formula: see text] to track cognitive workload induced by gaming is investigated. This is achieved by examining temporal variations in cognitive workload through the game Geometry Dash, with 250 trials across 7 subjects. The relationship between performance and cognitive load in Dark Souls III boss fights is also investigated followed by a comparison of the cognitive workload responses across three different genres of game. A robust decrease in in-ear [Formula: see text] is observed in response to cognitive workload induced by gaming, which is consistent with existing results from memory tasks. The results tentatively suggest that in-ear [Formula: see text] may be able to distinguish cognitive workload alone, whereas heart rate and breathing rate respond similarly to both cognitive workload and stress. This study demonstrates the feasibility of low cost wearable cognitive workload tracking in gaming with in-ear [Formula: see text], with applications to the play testing of games and biofeedback in games of the future.

Department of Emergency Medicine, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: Ultrasound education is transitioning from in-person training to remote methods using mixed reality (MR) and 5G networks. Previous studies are mainly experimental, lacking randomized controlled trials in direct training scenarios.
Objective: This study aimed to compare an MR-based telesupervised ultrasound education platform on private 5G networks with traditional in-person training for novice doctors.
Global disparities in neurosurgical care necessitate innovations addressing affordability and accuracy, particularly for critical procedures like ventriculostomy. This intervention, vital for managing life-threatening intracranial pressure increases, is associated with catheter misplacement rates exceeding 30% when using a freehand technique. Such misplacements hold severe consequences including haemorrhage, infection, prolonged hospital stays, and even morbidity and mortality.

Background: While aiming to optimize patient value, the shift towards Value-Based Health Care (VBHC) in hospitals worldwide has been argued to benefit healthcare professionals as well. However, robust evidence regarding VBHC's workforce implications is lacking. This gap is problematic, as the motivation and health of healthcare professionals are central to the quality of care and crucial amidst contemporary workforce challenges.
