In the field of neurosurgery, they allow medical students to practice complex operations before using a scalpel on a real patient. When combined with artificial intelligence, these tutoring systems can offer tailored feedback like a human instructor, identifying areas where the students need to improve and making suggestions on how to achieve expert performance.</p> Thu, 14 Sep 2023 15:36:17 +0000 gallage.peiris@mail.mcgill.ca 5799 at /neuro /neuro/article/open-science-patient-care/using-ai-and-open-science-improve-spinal-care Community health program CareAxis will help fill data gap for spinal patients.
