Research abstract
SOLUS Inc. proposes an advanced distributive medical protocol 'courseassembly' and 'scenario training' technology designed to meet multiplemilitary mission objectives, including global standardization of treatmentand decision-making algorithms. The system will be designed around a medicalimage database-coupled and telemedicine-deployable 'forward and reachback'training module intended for use by medical personnel engaged inprofessionally-interactive implementation of treatment protocols that guideinitial assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of patients throughout local(standard medical facility) and remote (field combat) settings. With anadaptively intelligent tutor embedded in the training system, extensive useof semiotically-based, widget configuration-driven graphic user interfaceelements will enhance system applicability under performance stress,multi-task decision-making, and linguistically or culturally-variablegeopolitical settings. Phase I will include detailed development of sampleprotocol content (based on approved military medicine practice guidelines) inthree areas: closed and penetrating head trauma, intervention for systemicshock of multiple etiologies, and NBC threat exposure or related onsetsymptomatology. Designed to be internet-accessible on cutting-edge portablecomputational technologies, system design will utilize a proprietary versionof the cutting-edge 'Rosetta' scenario assembly software technology forauthoring and generating interactive multimedia training modules, and forrunning complex high-throughput graphically-driven routines in distributeduser environments known for decision-implementation-intensive dynamics.
