Abstract
In Robot-Assisted Surgery, predicting surgeon attributes such as task workload, operation performance, and expertise levels is important in providing tailored assistance. This paper proposes Joint Inference for Surgeon Attributes Prediction (JISAP), a computational framework to jointly infer surgeon attributes (i.e., task workload, operation performance, and expertise level) from multimodal physiological signals (heart rate variability, wrist motion, electrodermal, electromyography, and electroencephalogram activity). JISAP was evaluated with a dataset of twelve surgeons operating on the da Vinci Skills Simulator. It was found that JISAP can simultaneously predict surgeon attributes with a percentage error of 11.05%. Additionally, joint inference was found to outperform isolated inference with a boost of 10%.
