Mission
Apply physiological and medical knowledge, advanced diagnostics, simulations, and effector systems integrated with information and telecommunications to enhance operational and medical decision-making, improve medical training, and deliver medical treatment across all barriers.
The program scope is to identify, explore, and demonstrate key technologies and biomedical principles required to overcome technology barriers that are both medically and militarily unique.
Assessment of Medical Training Simulators
Evaluation methodology
Formulate overall objectives of the evaluation.
Develop general experimental design.
Select and develop appropriate treatment scenarios.
Develop dependent variables / performance metrics.
Performance Metrics
Develop measurable standards against which to assess performance.
Determine participants & pre-evaluation orientation requirements.
Research Challenges
Real-time in vivo tissue property measurement and mathematical modeling
Tissue-tool interactions
Graphics and visualization
Learning systems
Metrics development and learning transfer assessment
Open source architecture (Common Anatomical Modeling Language [CAML], CIMIT)
