Improving surgeon ergonomics with AI analytics
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial uses AI to analyze surgeon posture and movements during acute care surgeries, with the goal of improving ergonomics and reducing physical strain. It may help identify better surgical practices for both surgeons and patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a general surgeon or surgical resident performing a case in the acute care surgery division.
- The surgery is being done in the designated acute care surgery operating room for that day.
- Both you and the surgical attending have signed a consent form to be recorded during the case.
- The attending surgeon agrees that video recording will not interfere with the surgery.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at how surgeons' body positions during gastrointestinal (stomach and bowel) surgery can cause strain or injury, and tests possible solutions. It may help you if you are a surgeon who performs or assists in GI operations.
This study looks at ways to improve how surgeons perform during robot-assisted surgeries. If you are a surgeon who does robotic procedures, joining this study could help make surgery safer and more effective.
This study looks at how surgeons can work more comfortably and safely during gynecologic procedures. Researchers will observe and measure surgeon posture and movement during laparoscopic (camera-assisted) and open surgeries to identify ways to reduce strain and injury.
This trial studies whether a computer tool that supports clinician decisions can improve perioperative (before, during, and after) care for people having elective surgery. If you’re eligible, your surgery team may use the tool to guide care decisions.
This study collects videos from minimally invasive surgeries (using small tools and cameras) to help doctors learn and improve surgical techniques. If you are having such a surgery, your de-identified video and medical data may be used for research.
This trial tests if AI-generated video feedback can help surgeons improve their technique in coronary artery bypass grafting. It may benefit surgeons whose initial skills were in the lower half of the CAMERA study.
