This project developed a computer-vision pipeline to automatically detect, count, and track surgical instruments across seven dental surgery cases. Using YOLO11 alongside object tracking, the system aimed to identify patterns of instrument use and assess whether automated monitoring could support evidence-based surgical tray rationalisation and more sustainable healthcare practices.

Hi everyone! I’m a first-year Chemical Engineering student at the University of Leeds with a strong interest in biomedical engineering, particularly at the intersection of sustainability and healthcare. I’m also passionate about environmental and energy-related challenges, and I’m eager to explore how engineering and innovation can contribute to more sustainable systems. I’m looking forward to connecting with fellow scholars through the Laidlaw Scholars Network, exchanging ideas, and learning from people with diverse backgrounds and ambitions. 😊
