Clinical evaluation of intraoperative AI in robotic surgery is in early stages, highlighting a need for common standards to compare systems as autonomy increases.
Clinical evaluation of intraoperative AI applications for robotic surgery is still in its infancy and most applications have a low level of autonomy. With increasing levels of autonomy, the evaluation focus seems to shift from AI-specific metrics to process outcomes, although common standards are needed to allow comparison between systems.
Vasey et al. (2022) studied this question.
