Description
Medical combat training relies heavily on medical simulation, particularly for practicing highly invasive, life-saving medical procedures. However, the major drawbacks to medical simulators include high costs of replacement parts, limited repeated use, and lack of feedback. Triton Systems proposes to design and develop reusable and reconfigurable soft tissue modules with integrated sensors to provide realistic tissue parts for patient simulators and performance assessment. Modules will be composed of materials that mechanically mimic soft tissues and allow for reuse (recycling parts for repeated use with compromised fidelity) and reconfiguration (simple process for easy customization of parts). A sensor system will be integrated to provide quantitative measurements of performance to guide medical training and provide after-action review.
