Analysis and Modeling of Actions for Advanced Medical Training Systems In medical collaboration with: Dr. Thomas Mussack (Klinikum Innenstadt) Dr. Hubertus Feussner (Klinikum rechts der Isar) Contact Person(s): Tobias Blum

Keywords: Surgical Workflow

Abstract

Providing feedback to trainees is one of the most important issues to support learning. This project researches how to give quantitative and visual feedback on the performance of a student when training on simulators or phantoms. Statistical analysis and probabilistic models are used to compare the performance of students and experts. Augmented Reality and video is used to give visual feedback like a synchronized replay of the student’s and the expert’s performance.
