Article Abstract
Background: Non-technical skills (NTS) are essential for safe surgical patient management. However, assessing NTS involves observer-based ratings, which can introduce bias. Eye tracking (ET) has been proposed as an effective method to capture NTS. The purpose of the current study was to determine if ET metrics are associated with NTS performance.
Methods: Participants wore a mobile ET system and participated in two patient care simulations, where they managed a deteriorating patient. The scenarios featured several challenges to leadership, which were evaluated using a 4-point Likert scale. NTS were evaluated by trained raters using the Non-Technical Skills for Surgeons (NOTSS) scale. ET metrics included percentage of fixations and visits on areas of interest.
Results: Ten medical students participated. Average visit duration on the patient was negatively correlated with participants' communication and leadership. Average visit duration on the patient's intravenous access was negatively correlated with participants' decision making and situation awareness.
Conclusions: Our preliminary data suggests that visual attention on the patient was negatively associated with NTS and may indicate poor comprehension of the patient's status due to heightened cognitive load. In future work, researchers and educators should consider using ET to objectively evaluate and provide feedback on their NTS.

Background: Electronic health records (EHRs) have been linked to information overload, which can lead to cognitive fatigue, a precursor to burnout. This can cause health care providers to miss critical information and make clinical errors, leading to delays in care delivery. This challenge is particularly pronounced in medical intensive care units (ICUs), where patients are critically ill and their EHRs contain extensive and complex data.

In future traffic environments dominated by highly autonomous vehicles (AVs), pedestrians may face challenges in accurately interpreting AV behavior, thereby potentially increasing the risk of pedestrian-AV interactions. External human-machine interfaces (eHMIs) have been proposed to facilitate communication between AVs and pedestrians; however, comprehensive evaluations using objective data from real-world interactions are limited. This study developed a systematic evaluation framework grounded in the ISO 9241-11 standard, integrating four key indicators: decision accuracy, comprehensibility, decision efficiency, and perceived safety.

Eye tracking has the potential to be used as a meaningful measure of the consequences of vision impairment (VI), yet a comprehensive test battery is lacking. In this study, we sought to evaluate the feasibility and validity of a test battery of eye movements as a tool to measure visual performance in individuals with VI. A test battery including fixation stability, smooth pursuit, saccades, free viewing, and visual search was administered to 46 athletes with VI and 10 control participants.

Purpose: To investigate eye movement dynamics during excimer laser ablation, specifically femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK), and compare movement patterns between the right eye (always operated on first) and the left eye (operated on second), analyzing direction, magnitude, and temporal changes.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 92 eyes from 46 patients who underwent FS-LASIK with the SCHWIND AMARIS system (SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions). Eye-tracking data were collected to record horizontal and vertical directional movements; variability was assessed using standardized metrics.
