Neurosurgery is perhaps one of the most demanding professions in health care. Surgeons spend long hours performing operations where expert performance means the difference between a good and bad patient outcome. While operative injuries are rare, when they occur, they can have serious and lifelong consequences.
Researchers at the Neurosurgical Simulation and Artificial Intelligence Learning Centre at The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital) of McGill University are striving to improve brain surgery training by designing real-time, intelligent tutors powered by AI.
These systems are designed to mimic the role of human surgical instructors in brain surgical training. Intelligent tutors help the learner acquire excellent operative skills by continuously assessing hand movements during simulated brain procedures and providing personalized verbal feedback.
