This $301,516 Project Grant was awarded on August 1, 2025 by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), part of the National Institutes of Health, under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286). The grant was awarded to The Johns Hopkins University to develop artificial intelligence (AI) models that can provide expert-like narrative feedback on surgical procedures, focusing initially on cataract, sinus, and lung lobe removal surgeries. The key objectives are to: (1) create a unified framework of vision-language and large language AI models to generate expert analyses of surgical videos, (2) develop methods for the AI models to continuously learn and improve, (3) develop techniques to synthesize surgical videos from expert analyses, and (4) build a dataset to enable this research. The expected impact is to allow surgeons to receive expert-level feedback to improve their surgical skills throughout their careers.
