Blinded, randomized trial of sonographer versus AI cardiac function assessment.

Nature
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been developed for echocardiography, although it has not yet been tested with blinding and randomization. Here we designed a blinded, randomized non-inferiority clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05140642; no o...

Technical evaluation of robotic tele-cholecystectomy: a randomized single-blind controlled pilot study.

Journal of robotic surgery
Although robotic telesurgery is growing in popularity, the benefits of telesurgery compared to local surgery are unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of robotic tele-cholecystectomy with a commercial line using the Saroa (Riverfield,...

Hybrid robot-assisted gait training for motor function in subacute stroke: a single-blind randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) is a practical treatment that can complement conventional rehabilitation by providing high-intensity repetitive training for patients with stroke. RAGT systems are usually either of the end-effector or ...

Micro-Hand Robot-Assisted Versus da Vinci Robot-Assisted Cholecystectomy: A Multi-centre, Randomized Controlled Trial.

World journal of surgery
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of micro-hand robot-assisted cholecystectomy (MRC) by comparing the clinical outcomes of patients with benign gallbladder disease treated with micro-hand or da Vinci robot-assisted cholecystectomy (DR...

Effects of robotic rehabilitation on recovery of hand functions in acute stroke: A preliminary randomized controlled study.

Acta neurologica Scandinavica
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of EMG-driven robotic rehabilitation on hand motor functions and daily living activities of patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Robot-assisted vs ultrasonography-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block vs local anaesthesia in urology: results of the UROTAP randomized trial.

BJU international
OBJECTIVES: To prospectively analyse robotically administered transperitoneal transversus abdominis plane (robot-assisted transversus abdominis plane [RTAP]) compared with both ultrasonography-guided transversus abdominis plane (UTAP) and local anaes...

Technical Feasibility of Supervision of Stretching Exercises by a Humanoid Robot Coach for Chronic Low Back Pain: The R-COOL Randomized Trial.

BioMed research international
Adherence to exercise programs for chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a major issue. The R-COOL feasibility study evaluated humanoid robot supervision of exercise for CLBP. Aims are as follows: (1) compare stretching sessions between the robot and a phy...

A blind randomized validated convolutional neural network for auto-segmentation of clinical target volume in rectal cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant radiotherapy.

Cancer medicine
BACKGROUND: Delineation of clinical target volume (CTV) for radiotherapy is a time-consuming and labor-intensive work. This study aims to propose a novel convolutional neural network (CNN)-based model for fast auto-segmentation of CTV. To evaluate it...
