Advanced training platform and methodologies for emergency responders and skilled

描述（由申请人提供）：需要能够为急救人员和熟练的支持人员提供及时的培训和参考材料。移动计算平台正变得无处不在，并提供了随时随地联系用户的理想方式。目前，将现有参考资料翻译成适合移动设备的格式的过程是手动的，而且非常耗费人力。 Nicolalde R&D LLC 正在顺利将其在 NIEHS 的第一阶段 SBIR 期间原型化的 mTraining 移动技术和服务商业化。 mTraining 技术是一种客观且基于检查表的方法，用于提供及时培训和参考材料，使其成为有效的电子绩效支持系统 (EPSS)，让员工在培训后以及在执行任务之前或任务期间在现场轻松访问信息。它提供简短的特定事件意识和安全培训，可以在响应紧急情况之前进行。第二阶段 SBIR 拟议的开发包括：a) 后端文档处理引擎，能够自动解析、分析、标记和组织文档，以便轻松交叉引用、链接和重新组织其内容，以便在移动培训平台或其他电子媒介上有效交付。它将连接到服务器和数据库架构，以促进其操作并支持存储和访问内容； b) 移动培训平台（mTraining）的前端界面在该项目的第一阶段进行了原型设计，用于在事件发生之前或事件期间向应急响应人员、熟练支持人员和志愿者提供培训内容。改进后的后端架构将支持针对不同类型的大型培训文档存储库的智能搜索功能。 结构。此功能依赖于文档处理引擎半自动提取相关数据并自动将这些数据转换为结构化格式的能力。 然后，该数据可用于在移动应用程序中显示、存储到数据库中并自动填充到本体中。在整个项目中，基于参与式的设计范例被用于促进用户需求的集成以及设计方案的快速原型设计和测试。该方法将在第一阶段继续使用 2 项目。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a need to be able to deliver just-in-time training and reference materials for first responders and skilled support personnel. Mobile computing platforms are becoming ubiquitous and provide an ideal means to reach users at any time in any location. The process of translating existing reference materials into mobile-friendly formats is currently manual and very labor intensive. Nicolalde R&D LLC is well under way to commercialize its mTraining mobile technology and service prototyped during a phase I SBIR from NIEHS. The mTraining technology is an objective and checklist-based method for delivering just-in-time training and reference materials, making it an effective Electronic Performance Support System (EPSS) for providing workers easy access to information after training, and on site prior to or during an assignment. It provides short, incident specific awareness and safety training that can be delivered prior to responding to an emergency situation. The proposed development under this phase II SBIR includes: a) a back-end document processing engine that is able to automatically parse, analyze, mark-up, and organize documents so that their content is easily cross-referenced, linked and re-organized for effective delivery on a mobile training platform or other electronic medium. This will be connected to a server and database architecture to facilitate its operation and support storing and accessing content; b) the front-end interface for the mobile training platform (mTraining) was prototyped in Phase I of this project for delivering training content to emergency responders, skilled support personnel, and volunteers before or during an incident. The improved back-end architecture will support intelligent search capabilities for a large repository of training documents with different structures. This capability relies on the document processing engine's ability to semi-automatically extract relevant data and automatically translate this data into a structured format. This data can then be used for display in the mobile application, stored into databases, and automatically populated into ontologies. Throughout this project the participatory-based design paradigm has been used for facilitating the integration of user requirements and the fast prototyping and testing of design alternatives. This approach will continue to be utilized in Phase 2 of the project.
