WITHDRAWN: An IoMT-based Cyber Training Framework for Orthopedic Surgery using Next Generation Internet Technologies

Abstract

Abstract Internet of Things based approaches and frameworks hold significant potential in changing the way in which engineering activities are accomplished. The information centric revolution underway has served as a catalyst in the design of innovative methods and practices in several engineering and other domains. In this paper, an Internet of Medical Things based framework for surgical training is discussed in the broader context of Next Generation frameworks. The design and development of this Internet of Medical Things based framework involving adoption of Global Environment for Network Innovations based networking principles is elaborated. The Virtual Reality based simulation environments incorporate haptic based interfaces which support collaborative training and interactions among expert surgeons and residents in orthopedic surgery from distributed locations. The impact of using this Internet of Medical Things based framework for medical education has also been studied; the outcomes underscore the potential of adopting such Internet of Medical Things based approaches for medical education.
