Abstract: An illustrative insertion management system may be configured to provide, as a first input to a machine learning model, geometric model data specific to a recipient of a cochlear implant and representative of a geometrical model of a cochlea of the recipient, provide, as a second input to the machine learning model, procedure data representative of one or more contextual attributes of a lead insertion procedure in which an electrode lead is inserted to the cochlea of the recipient, and generate, based on an output of the machine learning model that takes into account the geometric model data and the procedure data, procedure assistance data configured to assist a user in performing the lead insertion procedure.
