Abstract

PURPOSE: Inexpensive benchtop training systems offer significant advantages to meet the increasing demand of training surgeons and gastroenterologists in flexible endoscopy. Established scoring systems exist, based on task duration and mistake evaluation. However, they require trained human raters, which limits broad and low-cost adoption. There is an unmet and important need to automate rating with machine learning.
