Benchmark Evaluated Augmented Skills Training (B.E.A.S.T)

Tactical Combat Casualty Care for Medical Professionals (TCCC-MP) is the global standard for advanced prehospital casualty care. To increase survivability during the crucial golden hour, it is vital that life-saving emergency medicine skills and critical decision making are effectively mastered and maintained. The ability to obtain precise and actionable evaluation of skills proficiency, data retention, and applied learning for medical training is a current challenge within the DOD. Recent technological advances in hand tracking, eye tracking, and volumetric data collection will be utilized to develop BEAST to evaluate student performance against expert level benchmarks to identify individual strengths and weaknesses while tracking proficiency and skill mastery over time; directly aligned with TA-004 Human Performance, including Medical Technologies, rapid emergency medical response and trauma management and cognitive research and human capabilities including training, decision making, and human centered intelligence. Phase I efforts accomplished the development of a field-expedient and automated 3D motion scan data transformation pipeline for analysis by Machine Learning algorithms, and validation of  BEAST’s technical feasibility. Currently engaged with DoD and non-defense customers nationwide, Link to Learn’s network of supporters is steadily growing into an elite group; all eagerly awaiting BEAST’s deployment to spearhead the next training revolution.
