Article intro - Eye-gaze tracking in RAMIS

One of our most recent article appeared in Acta Polytechnica Hungarica: "Eye Gaze Tracking in Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery: A Systematic Review of Recent Advances and Applications" from Kristof Takacs and Tamas Haidegger.  

Abstract

This article provides insights into the utilization of eye gaze tracking technologies in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. Ranging from enhancing surgical precision to non-technical skill assessment, workload analysis and extended reality-based applications, all recent research fields are covered. Utilizing the PRISMA methodology, relevant studies were identified, screened and analyzed from the past 5 years from PubMed and IEEE Xplore databases. This review reveals that eye gaze tracking technology can significantly improve surgical efficiency, reduce cognitive load reliably, assess skill and stress levels, and foster better coordination. In conclusion, eye gaze tracking is still a widely researched and evolving field in RAMIS, potentially revolutionizing surgical practices and patient outcomes.
