This award funds the development of a training tool to enhance visual-haptic acuity in robotic minimally invasive surgery, aiming to improve surgical safety and reduce tissue injury by accelerating skill acquisition.
Description
Development and validation of an innovative training tool that catalyzes visual-haptic acuity with titrated supplemental haptic feedback to improve tissue handling skill in robotic minimally invasive surgery (RMIS). The project aims to accelerate learning of RMIS visual-haptic acuity and assess and predict it during simulated surgical training, ultimately improving safety and reducing tissue injury.
