HCC: Medium: Plug and Train: Mixed Reality Humans for Team Training

在美国，每年估计有4500万例住院外科手术，其中，危重事件造成832，500人死亡，1，350，000至7，650，000例患者严重伤害。在这些错误中，团队合作失败（例如误解程序说明，不承认和重复药物剂量水平）是一个重要因素-高达70%的医疗操作，如手术。减少团队合作失败需要使用有效的协议进行团队培训;然而，这些协议的团队培训机会很少。智力优点：为了解决培训中的这一缺陷，该项目将用混合现实人类（MRH）代替不可用的人类团队成员。MRH将插入不可用的人类团队成员的角色，以促进多方场景中的培训。研究团队将首先开发能够让MRH与人类受训者一起居住在培训环境中的系统。 然后，他们将开发新的会话建模技术，以支持与人类学员和虚拟人类队友的任何组合进行的培训体验。 最后，该团队将使用该系统进行一系列用户研究，以探索混合现实人类的影响，混合现实人类对团队动态的影响，以及混合现实人类团队培训的有效性。这项工作的结果将是有效的独立的，便携式MRH系统，集成到临床培训environments.Broader影响：该项目将导致重要的教育工具，为团队培训，最终将降低医疗团队错误的高昂社会和经济成本。 训练有素的团队犯的错误更少，更不严重，从而改善了患者的治疗效果。 这些工具和研究结果将被整合到佛罗里达大学的继续医学教育和新员工培训课程中。虽然最初是在临床环境中应用和评估的，但研究人员预计，混合现实人类团队训练将适用于航空、军事、教育和危机响应等其他多方场景。

There are an estimated 45 million inpatient surgical procedures per year in the U.S., where critical incidents account for 832,500 deaths and between 1,350,000 and 7,650,000 cases of significant harm to the patient. Of these errors, teamwork failures (e.g. misunderstanding procedural instructions and not acknowledging and repeating back drug dosage levels) are a significant factor - up to 70% for medical operations such as surgery. Reducing teamwork failures requires team training using effective protocols; however, few team training opportunities on these protocols exist. Intellectual merit: To address this deficiency in training, the project will substitute unavailable human team members with mixed reality humans (MRH). MRHs will plug into roles of unavailable human team members to facilitate training in multi-party scenarios. The research team will first develop systems capable of having MRH inhabit training environments alongside human trainees. Then, they will develop novel conversational modeling techniques to support a training experience to be conducted with any combination of human trainees and virtual human teammates. Finally, the team will conduct a set of user studies with the system to explore the effect of mixed reality humans, the impact of mixed reality humans on team dynamics, and the efficacy of team training with mixed reality humans. The result of this work will be effective self-contained, portable MRH systems that integrate into clinical training environments.Broader impacts: The project will result in important educational tools for team training that will ultimately lower the high social and financial costs of team errors in medicine. Better trained teams make fewer and less serious mistakes, thereby improving patient outcomes. The tools and findings will be integrated into the curriculum of continuing medical education and new hire orientation at the University of Florida. While initially applied and evaluated in a clinical setting, the investigators anticipate that mixed reality human team training will be applicable to other multiparty scenarios in aviation, the military, education, and crisis response.
