DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Firefighters, hazmat responders, police officers, and the military must be prepared to safely and efficiently respond to emergencies that involve dangerous chemicals, explosives, radiation, or weapons of mass destruction (WMD). A Sony PSP pre-loaded with HazMatIQ's 'GURU' based on the proven 'HazMatIQ 4-Step System' will give any First Responder immediate feedback on how to respond to a hazardous material/WMD. All current mobile devices do an excellent job of providing responders with information; however, it is often too much information - leaving the responder to interpret complicated, technical, and scientific data. Typically, a first responder receives limited training on how to interpret this chemical information. This limited training frequently cause first responders to make unsafe decisions based on their inability to transfer technical information to safe work practices. First Responders do not need more information; they need answers. The HazMatIQ 'GURU' will provide those answers. The 'GURU' will provide real time decision making process answers by using only the necessary information needed for the response at hand. For example, during a response to an ammonia leak, a typical mobile device would give chemical/physical properties, toxicological properties, and generic information on PPE. The GURU will eliminate the need for interpreting scientific information and provide an incident action plan for individual chemicals/WMD, and incidents involving unknown chemicals. The GURU would give First Responders arriving on a scene everything he/she needs in a matter of minutes. The 'GURU' will create a more prepared response community, which will better protect the public and emergency responders from the effects of chemical exposure. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: MetaMedia Training International, Inc. (MetaMedia) proposes to develop an mLearning application called 'HazMatIQ GURU' that provides a just-in-time application of HazMatIQ's internationally adopted '4-Step System' training through the use of a Playstation Portable (PSP). The HazMatIQ GURU is an electronic response tool built on the Sony PSP platform and is designed to walk responders through a process of how to safely and efficiently mitigate any incident involving hazardous materials/WMD. By delivering detailed and comprehensive action plans based on specific hazardous materials/WMD, the GURU will give responders answers - not technical scientific information which current mobile devices provide.

描述（由申请人提供）：消防员，危险品救援人员，警察和军队必须准备好安全有效地应对涉及危险化学品，爆炸物，辐射或大规模杀伤性武器（WMD）的紧急情况。索尼PSP预装了HazMatIQ的“GURU”，基于经过验证的“HazMatIQ四步系统”，将为任何第一响应者提供关于如何应对有害物质/大规模杀伤性武器的即时反馈。目前所有的移动设备都能很好地为响应者提供信息；然而，这往往是太多的信息——让回复者去解释复杂的、技术性的和科学的数据。通常情况下，第一响应者在如何解释这些化学信息方面接受有限的培训。这种有限的培训经常导致第一响应者基于他们无法将技术信息转移到安全工作实践而做出不安全的决定。第一反应者不需要更多的信息；他们需要答案。HazMatIQ“GURU”将提供这些答案。“GURU”将通过仅使用手头响应所需的必要信息来提供实时决策过程的答案。例如，在响应氨泄漏期间，典型的移动设备将提供有关PPE的化学/物理特性、毒理学特性和通用信息。GURU将消除解释科学信息的需要，并为个别化学品/大规模杀伤性武器和涉及未知化学品的事件提供事件行动计划。GURU会在几分钟内给到达现场的急救人员提供他/她需要的一切。“GURU”将创建一个准备更充分的响应社区，这将更好地保护公众和应急响应人员免受化学品暴露的影响。
