Why the study?
Evaluation of surgical robots during development is challenging due to their complex evolving nature, system disruption potential, and integration with technologies like AI.
The IDEAL framework provides comprehensive recommendations for the safe implementation and evaluation of next-generation surgical robots throughout their life cycle.
