Abstract

Suturing simulation systems and related methods comprising a table, a membrane housing associated with the table, a suturing membrane attached to the membrane housing, an internal camera disposed within the membrane housing, and at least one sensor associated with the table, wherein the internal camera and the at least one sensor are configured to collect suturing data. Other systems and methods include a data collection software module configured to synchronize the suturing image data from the internal camera and the suturing sensor data from the at least one sensor, thereby resulting in synchronized suturing data, and further can include a data processing software module configured process and extract metrics from the synchronized suturing data.
