About
Svetla Lekova is a researcher at the intersection of medical education and immersive technology, with a primary focus on leveraging augmented reality (AR) to enhance surgical training. Her most cited work, "Augmented Reality based Training of Surgical Staff to Operate a Laparoscopic Instrument" (2021, 9 citations), investigates how AR overlays—computer-generated content superimposed on live camera images—can be used to train surgical staff in laparoscopic procedures. This contribution addresses a critical need for simulation-based training in medicine, offering a safer, more accessible alternative to traditional methods. By exploring the optimal settings for AR-assisted training, Lekova helps bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and hands-on surgical skills. Her work is particularly notable for its practical application in operating room preparedness, aiming to reduce errors and improve patient outcomes. While her citation count reflects a growing interest in this niche, her research is foundational for future developments in AR-based medical pedagogy. Lekova’s achievements highlight her role in advancing digital tools for healthcare education, making her a key figure for students and researchers interested in the convergence of technology and clinical training.
