Real World Application
Twenty-plus years of conflict have yielded many advances in operational medicine. Medical simulators have rapidly evolved alongside a changing healthcare and battle space landscape. Designed to allow for users to learn and practice lifesaving skills in a safe, controlled environment, medical simulation allows theory to be applied and experience gained.
Today’s learners have been exposed to realistic motion pictures and first-person games that offer a full immersive experience that relies on the use of four senses: sight, sound, touch, and even scent. To keep the learner engaged, it is imperative that simulation systems recreate a seamless immersion across all devices, activities, and contexts within a learning environment. Engaged learners have a higher retention rate, resulting in better applied skills in real-world situations.
Virtual and augmented reality offer the ability to safely and effectively immerse the learner in an operational context, and provide a revolutionary new paradigm for military medical training.
Members of the DLH Team collaborated with various entities while working closely with the Defense Health Agency’s (DHA) funded efforts within the DHA Medical Simulation Portfolio to advance these critical capabilities.
