MinIAttention: Attention Management in Minimal Invasive Surgery using an IoT Synchronization Approach

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference proceedingspeer-review

Abstract

Laparoscopy and endoscopy have revolutionized the state of the art in surgical health care. Still, the associated higher complexity of the operating procedure leads to suboptimal or even erroneous surgical outcomes of minimal invasive surgery (MIS). Our work aims at evaluating and reducing MIS sur- geons’ cognitive load by observing their bio features and link- ing them to their psycho physiological triggers. In this way, we aim at detecting the current cognitive load and attention of surgeons to give them unobtrusive feedback when detecting suboptimal levels of cognitive load.
