Real-Time Artificial Intelligence Feedback vs. In-Person Instruction in Surgical Skills Training
The study compared the effectiveness of real-time artificial intelligence (AI) feedback and in-person expert instruction in teaching surgical technical skills. The randomized controlled trial involved 97 medical trainees who completed a 90-minute simulation training. The study found that training with real-time AI feedback resulted in significantly better performance outcomes compared to no real-time feedback and in-person instruction. The study demonstrated that real-time intelligent instruction was more efficient than in-person instruction and concluded that AI systems could refine the way operating skills are taught, providing tailored, quantifiable feedback and actionable instructions in real-time.
