MODUS OPERANDI, INC. — Department of Defense STTR Phase II: A18B-T008

Description

Modus Operandi and the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition will continue development of the Runnable Environment for Team Effectiveness and Assessment Metrics (reTEAM) platform demonstrated in the Phase I effort by adding the social sensors and analytical capabilities required to drive scalable visualizations and a predictive outcome-based recommendation engine. The Phase II effort will align sensor-driven metrics collected from behavioral data to a sophisticated but intuitive model of mission parameters and goals in order to produce highly specific advice and then provide a real-time or predictive measurement of the actual improvement of team performance. reTEAM addresses the challenge of evaluating performance by providing users with feedback at every level of their team. Wearable and social sensor data is aggregated, normalized, and fused into a set of metrics about individuals that can be easily understood and reasoned over. These metrics then feed a study of interpersonal relationships within the team, which in turn feeds further analysis and the generation of team-level insights and diagnostics that drive continuous team performance improvement. Finally, the team leader can try out what-if scenarios to determine the impact of external actions on team effectiveness.
