Tokyo, June 10 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000061842) titled 'Simulation-based evaluation of medical assistance using a physical AI-equipped robotic arm' on June 10.

Study Type: Observational

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Yamagata University Faculty of Medicine

Condition: Condition - None Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - Applying a robotic arm equipped with physical AI (a technology that integrates AI-based recognition and judgment with physical movement), this study evaluates the feasibility, accuracy, and safety of the following three points in a simulated environment: (1) instrument handover during central venous puncture, (2) autonomous puncture assistance for spinal anesthesia using a lumbar puncture simulator, and (3) autonomous puncture assistance for procedures such as peripheral nerve block, epidural anesthesia, and central venous puncture based on ultrasound image recognition. Through this, the study examines the contribution to reducing the workload of medical staff and decreasing human error. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy
