About
D. Deepansh is a researcher whose work bridges surgical innovation and data-driven assessment, with a focus on urological oncology and robotic surgery. His most notable contribution lies in pioneering the use of crowdsourcing to evaluate surgical skill, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2015 paper, "Wisdom of the crowds: Use of crowdsourcing to assess surgical skill of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in a statewide surgical collaborative." This study, with 11 citations, introduced a novel paradigm: leveraging non-expert raters to reliably assess complex surgical performance, challenging traditional reliance on expert panels and opening doors to scalable, cost-effective quality improvement in robotic surgery. Deepansh’s work underscores the potential of collective intelligence in medical education and credentialing, particularly for high-stakes procedures like radical prostatectomy. By validating crowdsourced assessments within a statewide collaborative, he has helped shape a more democratic and accessible approach to surgical skill evaluation. His research continues to influence how surgical teams measure and enhance performance, making him a key figure at the intersection of technology, collaboration, and clinical excellence.
