About this study

The aim of this study is to develop an artificial intelligence-based autonomous socket recommendation program that will provide a more comfortable and easier test socket production with high time-cost efficiency and to share experiences about socket designs in these processes.

Read the detailed description

For the artificial intelligence-based software planned to be created, the stumps of all patients were scanned with the Artec Eva Lite brand 3D scanner. The scanned patterns were saved as point clouds. The socket parts of the prostheses used by the same patients were also scanned with the same scanner device and recorded.

The point dataset consisting of stump-socket matches obtained from the patients was used for the software.

In order to train the artificial intelligence model, a working environment has been created in which artificial intelligence libraries and tools can be used on the computer. For this purpose, first Anaconda data science platform was established. Thereupon, Python programming language and Tensorflow deep learning library were installed, other libraries required for the training of the artificial intelligence model were added, and the working environment was made ready. A deep learning algorithm was used in the artificial intelligence model developed for training the data. The purpose of using deep learning, which is one of the most up-to-date and popular artificial intelligence algorithms, is to achieve more accurate results by increasing the performance and accuracy rate. First, the dataset is 90% reserved for training and 10% for testing. Then, a deep learning model was created with the Sequantial() model selected from the Keras library. In the model, a total of 7 layers are used, the first of which is the input layer and the last is the output layer. While "relu" is used as the activation function for the input layer and intermediate layers, the "linear" function is used for the output layer. While creating the model, "Adam" was chosen as the optimizer. In the model trained with a total of 500 "repetitions", "batch size" is assigned as 5. The trained model was then tested with the test data and a success rate of 61% was achieved. Afterwards, the model and weights were recorded. After the model training was completed, a new Python program was developed. The previously developed models and weights were loaded while the program was running and were used to propose a socket for the new die data to be given. When the program is run, the stump name for which a socket is requested is asked.

Thus, the program proposes a new socket after receiving the stubby data set from the user and testing it in the trained model. This 3D socket model is shown to the user via the Python Plotly Graphics Library.

Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Software ( Artificial Intelligence Based Autonomous Socket Proposal Program)

    The foresight of the software to be developed will be evaluated. It will be evaluated how suitable a socket design can be suggested for the stump dimensions entered into the system.

    Thanks to the software, the time taken for socket design will be compared with the time taken for sockets produced with classical methods.

    The time/cost effectiveness of the software will be evaluated.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Artificial Intelligence and Prosthetic, run by Hasan Kalyoncu University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Software ( Artificial Intelligence Based Autonomous Socket Proposal Program) (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05341674, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
