| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For simultaneous three-dimensional position/force detection and analyses of the endoscopic surgical procedures, a finger wearable sensor unit incorporating a magnetic position sensor and the load cell was developed, and a visual programming environment was used to create a series of algorithms of the data collection, file processing, analysis and visualization. The movement of surgeon's hand in surgical operation were also important for medical staff in the operating room to understand the procedures, as well as knowing the surgical instruments' trajectory. Therefore, the system, which was able to analyze dynamics of the surgical procedure with detecting the surgeon's hand movement or its interaction force with a patient's body, was one of the goals of this research project. The above sensor unit and the program have been successfully developing for now, and optimization is in progress.
