“…The clinician can manually retrieve the robot in its passive state by activating a mechanical release mechanism to collapse the arms and then by pulling on the tether 2 . Surgical tools could be positioned at various locations on the chassis, but our current solution involves a detachable module at the front of the robot 3 . For example, this module could house a camera, light source and embedded control boards ( Fig.…”

“…Early diagnosis can greatly improve cancer survival rates [2], so the reliability of the procedure is of utmost importance. Despite its frequent use, there are a number of drawbacks to using a colonoscope (endoscope), namely: impaired visibility due to poor bowel preparation; patient discomfort from looping of the colonoscope; and limited access caused by bowel tortuosity [1,3].…”

“…In general, they can be used to assess characteristics of care (structural), the delivery of care (process), or the results of care (outcomes). In particular, these measures can be developed in relation to diagnostics, management, patient prevention, or administration function 2 . While quality measures can be used as a means to identify those providing high-quality care and thus provide a mechanism to reward those for this practice, they can also be used as a means to penalize those who fail to meet the expected standards 3 .…”

“…The effectiveness of colonoscopy depends on adequate visualization of the entire colon and diligence during examination of the mucosa. Many colon segments can have low diagnostic yield caused by transiently rapid withdrawal, for example, when passing acute angulations of the organ [21] . A quality indicator that is only based on the total withdrawal time cannot recover information about colon segments which have been poorly visualized due to rapid withdrawal.…”
