Area of Science:

  • Military Medicine
  • Trauma Care
  • Medical Simulation

Background:

  • UK Defence Medical Service utilizes Medical Emergency Response Teams (MERTs) for pre-hospital emergency care (PHEC) of combat casualties.
  • Current airborne MERT training relies on limited access to operational aircraft or ground-based mock-ups.
  • Training access is constrained by competition for military assets and platforms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an innovative, cost-effective, and transportable training solution for MERT personnel.
  • To enhance the readiness and effectiveness of MERTs in pre-hospital emergency care.
  • To overcome limitations of traditional MERT training methods.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a mixed reality (MR) training concept.
  • Integration of real-world training objects with virtual reality (VR) reconstructions.
  • Creation of an inexpensive, reconfigurable, and transportable training system.

Main Results:

  • A novel mixed reality training system for MERTs has been developed.
  • The system offers a flexible and accessible alternative to traditional training methods.
  • Potential to improve individual skills, team performance, and cohesion in mission-specific contexts.

Conclusions:

  • The developed mixed reality training concept provides a viable solution for MERT pre-deployment training.
  • This approach addresses the limitations of accessing operational aircraft for training.
  • It enhances the capability to deliver effective pre-hospital emergency care to combat casualties.
