About
Makoto Ozaki is a pioneering researcher in medical simulation and biomechanical assessment, with a primary focus on improving clinical skills training for high-stakes emergency procedures. His most cited work introduces a novel biomechanical measurement system to objectively evaluate proficiency in Endotracheal Intubation (ETI), a critical airway management technique performed under urgent conditions. By instrumenting the laryngoscope to capture force and motion data during intubation, Ozaki’s approach moves beyond subjective observation to quantify the subtle differences between novice and expert performance. This contribution directly addresses the need for reliable, data-driven feedback in medical education, helping trainees refine their psychomotor skills before facing real patients. Although his citation count remains modest, the work’s impact is significant in the niche field of simulation-based assessment, where it has informed subsequent studies on skill transfer and haptic feedback systems. Ozaki’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering a tangible method to enhance patient safety through better training.
