Does your team know how to respond safely to an operating room fire? Outcomes...
AbstractBackgroundOperating room (OR) fires are rare but devastating events requiring immediate and effective response. Virtual Reality (VR) simulation training can provide a safe environment for...
View ArticleHierarchical task analysis of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty
AbstractBackgroundEndoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a minimally invasive endoscopic weight loss procedure used to treat obesity. The long-term goal of this project is to develop a Virtual...
View ArticleObjective metrics for hand-sewn bowel anastomoses can differentiate novice...
AbstractBackgroundAssessing performance automatically in a virtual reality trainer or from recorded videos is advantageous but needs validated objective metrics. The purpose of this study is to obtain...

Portable neuroimaging differentiates novices from those with experience for...
AbstractBackgroundThe goal of this study was to compare the brain activation patterns of experienced and novice individuals when performing the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) suture with...
View ArticleError-related brain state analysis using electroencephalography in...
AbstractError-based learning is one of the basic skill acquisition mechanisms that can be modeled as a perception–action system and investigated based on brain–behavior analysis during skill training....
View ArticleSynthetic tissues lack the fidelity for the use in burn care simulators
AbstractThis work compares the mechanical response of synthetic tissues used in burn care simulators from ten different manufacturers with that of ex vivo full thickness burned porcine skin as a...
View ArticleSkill-level classification and performance evaluation for endoscopic sleeve...
AbstractBackgroundWe previously developed grading metrics for quantitative performance measurement for simulated endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) to create a scalar reference to classify subjects...
View ArticleWhat are essential laparoscopic skills these days? Results of the SAGES...
AbstractIntroductionThe Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) program tests basic knowledge and skills required to perform laparoscopic surgery. Educational experiences in laparoscopic training...
View ArticleDisruptions to shared mental models from poor quality of service in...
AbstractCollaborative virtual environments are being used in various applications ranging from online games to complex team training scenarios. The key to the success of such environments is the...
View ArticleThermally damaged porcine skin is not a surrogate mechanical model of human skin
AbstractPorcine skin is considered a de facto surrogate for human skin. However, this study shows that the mechanical characteristics of full thickness burned human skin are different from those of...
View ArticleDirected information flow during laparoscopic surgical skill acquisition...
AbstractVirtual reality (VR) simulator has emerged as a laparoscopic surgical skill training tool that needs validation using brain–behavior analysis. Therefore, brain network and skilled behavior...
View ArticleDevelopment of metaverse for intelligent healthcare
AbstractThe metaverse integrates physical and virtual realities, enabling humans and their avatars to interact in an environment supported by technologies such as high-speed internet, virtual reality,...
View ArticleVideo-based formative and summative assessment of surgical tasks using deep...
AbstractTo ensure satisfactory clinical outcomes, surgical skill assessment must be objective, time-efficient, and preferentially automated—none of which is currently achievable. Video-based assessment...
View ArticleAssessment of Surgical Tasks Using Neuroimaging Dataset (ASTaUND)
AbstractFunctional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a neuroimaging tool for studying brain activity in mobile subjects. Open-access fNIRS datasets are limited to simple and/or motion-restricted...
View ArticleEndoscopic sleeve gastroplasty: stomach location and task classification for...
AbstractPurposeWe have previously developed grading metrics to objectively measure endoscopist performance in endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG). One of our primary goals is to automate the process...
View ArticleVideo-based skill acquisition assessment in laparoscopic surgery using deep...
AbstractPurposeSurgical skill acquisition is based on the repetitive execution of a surgical task. Each trainee starts with a different skill level and has a unique pace in attaining the necessary...
View ArticleA moment–curvature-based constitutive model for interactive simulation of...
AbstractA moment–curvature constitutive model is proposed for the dynamic simulation of visco-plastic rods subject to time-varying loads and constraints at interactive rates. Smooth spline functions...
