Method and system for generating a surgical training module

摘要

A system (1) comprises a physical surgical simulator (11) which transmits data concerning physical movement of training devices to an analysis engine (12). The engine (12) automatically generates rules for a rule base (13a) in a learning system (13). The learning system (13) also comprises content objects (13b) and 3D scenario objects (13c). A linked set of a 3D scenario object (13c), a rule base (13a), and a content object (13b) are together a lesson (10). Another simulator (14) is operated by a student. This transmits data concerning physical movement of training devices by a student to a verification engine (15). The verification engine (15) interfaces with the rule base (13a) to display the lesson in the manner defined by the lesson rule base (13a). It calculates performance measures defined in the lesson rule base (13a). It also records the performance measures into a lesson record (18) and it adapts the display of the lesson in line with the parameters defined in the lesson rule base (13a).

1. A training module system comprising:
an analysis engine configured to receive motion data from a simulation exercise performed by a first user and generate rules based on the motion data of the simulation exercise; and a learning system configured to couple the rules from the simulation exercise with training content to generate a lesson for a second user; wherein the analysis engine is configured to execute an automatic clustering technique to identify spatial regions of interest of movement caused by the first user performing the simulation exercise and is configured to perform automatic pattern analysis to segment the lesson according to motion parameters.
