“…Serious games have been developed for multiple aspects of healthcare. For surgery [140] there are serious games for training in laparoscopic techniques [141], knee-replacements [142,143], and blood management [144]. In addition, there are examples of serious games used for the training of n urses to manage pain [145].…”

Abstract. This chapter will situate academia in relation to serious games commercial production and contextual adoption, and vice-versa. As a researcher it is critical to recognize that academic research of serious games does not occur in a vacuum. Direct partnerships between universities and commercial organizations are increasingly common, as well as between research institutes and the contexts that their serious games are deployed in. Commercial production of serious games and their increased adoption in non-commercial contexts will influence academic research through emerging impact pathways and funding opportunities. Adding further complexity is the emergence of commercial organizations that undertake their own research, and research institutes that have in-house commercial arms. To conclude, we explore how these issues affect the individual researcher, and offer considerations for future academic and industry serious games projects.

“…In this study, we apply our algorithm to the videos of training sessions for intra-corporeal wound suturing, which is considered to be one of the most difficult procedures in laparoscopy training ( De Paolis et al, 2014 ; Hudgens and Pasic, 2015 ; Chang et al, 2016 ). For that purpose, we have recorded videos from six professional surgeons and ten novice subjects.…”

Real-Time 3D Tracking of Laparoscopy Training Instruments for Assessment and Feedback

et al. 2021

Assessment of minimally invasive surgical skills is a non-trivial task, usually requiring the presence and time of expert observers, including subjectivity and requiring special and expensive equipment and software. Although there are virtual simulators that provide self-assessment features, they are limited as the trainee loses the immediate feedback from realistic physical interaction. The physical training boxes, on the other hand, preserve the immediate physical feedback, but lack the automated self-assessment facilities. This study develops an algorithm for real-time tracking of laparoscopy instruments in the video cues of a standard physical laparoscopy training box with a single fisheye camera. The developed visual tracking algorithm recovers the 3D positions of the laparoscopic instrument tips, to which simple colored tapes (markers) are attached. With such system, the extracted instrument trajectories can be digitally processed, and automated self-assessment feedback can be provided. In this way, both the physical interaction feedback would be preserved and the need for the observance of an expert would be overcome. Real-time instrument tracking with a suitable assessment criterion would constitute a significant step towards provision of real-time (immediate) feedback to correct trainee actions and show them how the action should be performed. This study is a step towards achieving this with a low cost, automated, and widely applicable laparoscopy training and assessment system using a standard physical training box equipped with a fisheye camera.
