A research team at Mount Sinai in New York has developed a promising AI-driven training model that enables medical students to learn complex surgical procedures independently. The combination of AI and an extended reality (XR) headset offers an innovative solution to the shortage of qualified trainers in surgical practice.
Traditionally, surgical training requires direct supervision by an experienced physician, which is associated with time constraints, high costs and variable teaching quality. The new system, developed by researchers at Mount Sinai in collaboration with the University of Rochester Medical Centre, uses deep learning algorithms integrated into a specially designed XR headset. This headset streams step-by-step instructions and video images directly to the trainee surgeon’s eyes. During the training, they also receive...
