Taxonomy- "The goal of a gameplay session in Ai-SICS is to successfully perform small incision cataract surgery on a patient. This is a simulator grade application, so every aspect of the game aims to be as realistic as possible.
A patient can be randomly generated, or customised by the user. Every detail is customisable, from eye colour and skin colour, to severity of cataract and eye moisture.
The user has a standard set of surgical tools for this type of cataract surgery at their disposal, and must use them as they see appropriate to perform the operation. The steps they take, and the precision in which they use them will affect the outcome of the operation, with all consequences (good or bad) replicated as they would happen in the real world.
Upon completing the surgery, the user and tutors will be able to evaluate every step that was taken."
Computer–based simulation technology has been used in medical training since more than a decade. But these tools often lacked the ability to encourage decision making skill in its users which is crucial during surgical training. The AI-SICS is different from most of the computer based SICS (small incision manual cataract surgery) training systems as it offers a self-guided, self-correcting training that requires trainees to make decisions based on realistic surgical situations. The training content can be accessed from any personal computer, laptops, most mobile devices and web browsers and contains photo realistic simulations along with help videos of actual surgeries. The interactive program includes various surgical steps with instant feedback system. The user is free to make a serious error and learn how to fix it using the tools available and be trained on how to avoid making the same mistake again.
