ROBIN VERGOUWEN
AI Video Assessment Lead
Incision
       

With an academic background in both Cognitive Neuroscience and Computer Science, I am intrigued by the similarities and differences between the human brain and the ‘computer brain’. How do we perceive the world around us? How do we see what is present in an image or a video? And how can we make a computer understand what is present in an image or a video?

These are some of the questions which I try to answer on a daily basis by developing algorithms that can automatically analyze surgical images and videos with the use of Artificial Intelligence. This work is an important part of Incision’s mission to realize the potential of standardized analysis and feedback generation in the field of surgical training.

Ian’s work with WHO assisted organizations and member states to build capacity and strengthen health systems by coordinating the deployment of quality assured medical teams in emergencies in over 130 countries across the globe. Ian is the lead author of the current WHO Global Classification and Standards for EMT deployments to disasters.

With WHO Ian deployed for over 5 months to West Africa as part of the Ebola outbreak response in 2014/15 and led the coordination of 58 EMTs in three countries. He also led the coordination of 132 EMTs in Nepal during the earthquakes of April and May 2015. In 2016 he established the EMT trauma pathway as part of the Mosul response in Northern Iraq.

Previously, Ian led the creation of disaster response teams in Australia and became the Director of Disaster Preparedness and Response at the National Critical Care & Trauma Response Centre (NCCTRC), located in Darwin. Ian was instrumental in creating the Australian Governments disaster response cache and the training of 700 volunteers who now make up the Australian Government Emergency Medical Team (AusMAT). Ian led AusMAT on several international deployments, including the Pakistan floods, Solomon Island dengue support and Typhoon Haiyan, Philippines in Tacloban. He also led the mass casualty burns response to a refugee boat explosion off Ashmore Reef in 2009.
