  • Patent number: 10553130
    Abstract: A system for assessing performance of a procedure comprises a tissue model or a tool comprising assessment indicators applied thereto, one or more image-capturing devices for capturing one or more assessment images of the assessment indicators while or after a user performs the medical procedure, and a processor configured to analyze the assessment indicators in the one or more assessment images and provide feedback to the user. A system can also comprise a tissue model, one or more image-capturing devices each configured to capture one or more images of the tissue model, and a processor configured to analyze the one or more images from the one or more image-capturing devices to determine a deformation of the tissue model and determine a force exerted on the tissue model based on the determined deformation of the tissue model.

  • Publication number: 20160349844
    Abstract: A device is provided including (a) a base, (b) a first interface component coupled to the base, wherein the first interface component is cylindrical, (c) a rotatable component including a second interface component positioned on a first side of the rotatable component, wherein the first interface component and the second interface component are removeably coupled to one another based on a magnetic field, and wherein the second interface component includes a concave surface approximately corresponding to the cylindrical shape of the first interface component such that the first interface component fits at least partially within the second interface component when the first interface component is coupled to the second interface component, and (d) an attachment component coupled to a second side of the rotatable component, wherein the attachment component is configured to be removeably coupled to a hand and/or finger of a user.
