The Center for Medical Innovations in Extended Reality (MIXR) integrates computer science and engineering with medical and clinical sciences to develop and establish scientific foundations for designing and assessing medical extended reality (XR) applications. Working with industry partners to broaden the safe deployment of XR, the Center focuses on new technologies and regulatory pathways to improve healthcare equity and access, patient management, and medical outcomes across all areas of clinical practice.MIXR has identified driving applications in clinical practice, medical education and training, and regulatory standards. The University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) contributes to the Center with unique capabilities in: predictive modeling (AI-assisted methods to identify anomalies in medical data), human factors (pilot and field evaluation of XR solutions), and imaging and displays (conceptual design and iterative user studies for prototype XR tools in medical environments). The team at UMB will work from the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland School of Medicine focusing on XR in trauma, surgery, and critical care applications.XR device evaluation lags significantly behind technological innovation, increasing the risk of ineffective or unsafe applications and delaying clinical implementation. This effort’s broader impact will be addressing open research questions for the evaluation of medical XR devices. Supporting NSF’s mission, this will assure public safety around these technologies and improve health care outcomes. In collaboration with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, project outcomes will provide the scientific foundation supporting regulatory requirements on and decisions regarding medical XR devices. Further, MIXR’s multi-faceted strategic approach for creating educational opportunities for underrepresented students focuses on access, community, and innovation.Data, software, findings, and publications resulting from this project will be archived across the sites, but with a central server at http://mixr.umd.edu to facilitate ease of discovery. Research and archival staff will review the data collected during this project before release to the public. It shall be publicly available for at least three years after the project.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

扩展现实中的医学创新中心(MIXR)将计算机科学和工程与医学和临床科学相结合，为设计和评估医学扩展现实(XR)应用开发和建立科学基础。该中心与行业合作伙伴合作，扩大XR的安全部署，专注于新技术和监管途径，以改善所有临床实践领域的医疗公平和准入、患者管理和医疗结果。MIXR已确定在临床实践、医疗教育和培训以及监管标准方面的驾驶应用。马里兰大学巴尔的摩分校(UMB)在以下方面为该中心提供了独特的能力：预测建模(人工智能辅助方法，以识别医疗数据中的异常)、人为因素(XR解决方案的试点和现场评估)，以及成像和显示(医疗环境中XR工具原型的概念设计和迭代用户研究)。UMB的团队将在马里兰大学医学院的R Adams Cowley休克创伤中心工作，专注于创伤、手术和危重护理应用中的XR。XR设备评估严重落后于技术创新，增加了无效或不安全应用的风险，并推迟了临床应用。这一努力的更广泛影响将是解决医用XR设备评估的公开研究问题。为了支持NSF的使命，这将确保这些技术周围的公共安全，并改善医疗保健结果。在与美国食品和药物管理局的合作下，项目成果将为支持医疗XR设备的监管要求和决策提供科学基础。此外，Mixr为代表不足的学生创造教育机会的多方面战略方法侧重于访问、社区和创新。该项目产生的数据、软件、调查结果和出版物将跨网站存档，但使用位于http://mixr.umd.edu的中央服务器，以便于发现。研究和档案工作人员将审查在该项目期间收集的数据，然后向公众发布。该奖项应在项目结束后至少三年内公开提供。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
