Current Work :
Dr. Vosburgh’s laboratory brings virtual reality approaches to benefit interventional clinicians: surgeons, gastroenterologists, and others. His team provides “GPS for the interventionalist” while not requiring complex radiologic equipment in their procedure or operating rooms. To this end, he has participated in over 20 porcine model surgeries and 25 tests in humans as well as being the Principal Investigator responsible for the scientific direction and administrative processes for these studies. A key contribution of his laboratory has been the development of kinematics-based metrics for operator performance. These have been applied to laparoscopic, endoscopic, and urologic surgery, and most recently to performance characterization in diagnostic examinations such as colonoscopy. His laboratory is focused on demonstrating that high tech approaches to interventions provide more effective and efficacious solutions to acute clinical challenges. See www.ciglab.org.
