the US Army Medical Research and
Materiel commands mission is to develop
new and innovative technologies that
address documented gaps in the area of
combat casualty care using mixed reality
we've created a training scenario that
allows and enhances the medics
capabilities for a real-world incident
start training
as a medic the greatest fear is coming
across a casualty on the battlefield
that you don't have the knowledge skills
or capability to facilitate treatment

the J mark is an integrated concept
where we can take various data sources
and use advanced mixed reality
technology to provide a more intuitive
interface of what's going on in the
battlefield
the reach-back concept of the Jamaat
works because it gives a young soldier
the ability to connect directly to a
higher echelon of care and allow him to
go through a step-by-step method of
instruction it not only enhances that
soldier's ability to perform the task
but greatly improves the survivability
rate of the patient back of the jmark
evacuation plans can be initiated while
the Medicus talked through a pull on
field car scenario
it's likely our battlefield in the
future will not have connectivity or
bandwidth which is why the clinical
decision support algorithms are
immensely important
in this scenario we have a sailor who's
undergone a blunt-force injury and
through the use of a fast exam
point-of-care testing and a thoracic
ultrasound the independent Duty corpsman
is able to determine that they do not
have a life-threatening injury and
therefore do not need to be evacuated
from the ship and conveys that
information to the commanding officer we
believe this technology has the
capability to augment our forward
deployed medical assets and by so doing
both preserve the fighting strength of
our force and maintain survivability in
future conflicts
in order to expand the capabilities of
our enroute critical care teams we need
to allow the provider to take care of
more than one patient at a time
using mixed reality we can expand the
scope of patients at one provider to
take care of and will rapidly provide
alerts that they can respond to to
improve care and save lives
it's going to be critical that we find
opportunities that we can empower our
medics to be able to do more with less
and to be able to draw information
knowledge and capabilities from remote
sites from critical specialists the
integration of the latest in medical
care and information technology will be
key to improving communication to care
today and in the future
