Brief Summary

Brief summary The goal of this Feasibility study is to capture bronchoscopy data from patients (Group1) and bronchoscopists (Group 2) over a period of three years. The investigators wish to collect the pre-procedure CT scans and endoscopy videos of 300 patients. Up to 20 bronchoscopists will take part in the study Primary outcomes

1. 1.To collect imaging data from patients undergoing routine bronchoscopy procedures
2. 2.To collect movement data from clinicians performing the routine bronchoscopy procedures using a sensory Glove
3. 3.Integrate the data gathered with procedure guidelines to develop a representation of procedure success using machine learning algorithms.
4. 4.Develop an actionable knowledge base for bronchoscopy skill transfer to novice/untrained medical staff.
5. 5.Investigate the feasibility of developing models of bronchoscopy procedures to develop training tools in the future

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• To collect imaging data from patients undergoing routine bronchoscopy procedures

  The bronchoscopy images will be recorded using a screen capture device

  up to 1 hour

• to collect movement data from clinicians performing the routine bronchoscopy procedures

  A sensory glove will be worn by the clinicians to capture their hand movements during the routine bronchoscopy

  up to 1 hour

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Integrate the data gathered with procedure guidelines to develop a representation of procedure success using machine learning algorithms

  1 year after completion of data collection

• Investigate the feasibility of developing models of bronchoscopy procedures to develop training tools in the future.

  1 year after completion of data collection

Study Arms (2)

Group 1

Up to 300 patients undergoing routine bronchoscopy procedures. Patients will be asked permission to access previous CT scans and record video from the bronchoscopy procedure.

Group 2

Up to 20 bronchoscopists. These participants will be asked a to complete a short questionnaire on their experience and will wear a sensorized glove to capture their hand movements during the procedure
