Simulation of Laparoscopic Surgery Based on Data from the Black Box

Important results from the project

With this project, Surgical Science has changed and improved how results are presented for optimal feedback and benefit to the user. Following the implementation of the project, extended direct feedback is now offered, improved instructions and a clearer follow-up of results. In accordance with Surgical Science vision this provides a more efficient, safer and more accessible training, which results in fewer care injuries, shorter recovery time, as well as reduced costs and overall higher quality in care.

Expected long term effects

The work we have done within this project has changed and improved how results are presented for optimal feedback and benefit to the user. Following the implementation of the project, extended direct feedback is now offered, along with improved instructions and a clearer follow-up of results. We have also developed a cloud-based solution where an instructor can set up customized courses, follow users´ results and progress remote. We have also laid the foundation for customized metrics towards specific requirements from international institutes and learning centers.

Approach and implementation

Surgical Sciences development projects are run agile according to scrum, based on experience from over 20 years of experience in pioneering, world-leading development and R&D projects. The project aimed to change and improve how results are presented for optimal feedback and benefit to the user, which we have achieved.
