Construct, content and face validity of the eoSim laparoscopic simulator on advanced suturing tasks

Background: The purpose of this study was to validate the eoSim, an affordable and mobile inanimate laparoscopic simulator with instrument tracking capabilities, regarding face, content and construct validity on complex suturing tasks. Methods: Participants recruited for this study were novices (no laparoscopic experience), target group for...

Towards integrated digital twins for construction and manufacturing

A digital twin (DT) can enhance construction management with comprehensive real-time simulations. However, research rarely considers prefabrication factories, whose processes have a significant impact on cost and duration. It remains unclear how construction DTs can achieve their expected benefits without dynamically interacting with the DTs of...
