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。移动计算平台正在变得无处不在，并为用户提供了随时随地接触到用户的理想手段。目前，将现有参考资料翻译成便于移动的格式的过程是手工进行的，而且非常耗费人力。Nicolalde R&D LLC正在顺利地将其移动培训技术和服务商业化，这些技术和服务是在NIEHS的第一阶段SBIR中原型的。MTraining技术是一种客观的、基于清单的方法，用于提供及时的培训和参考材料，使其成为一种有效的电子绩效支持系统(EPSS)，使员工能够在培训后、任务前或任务期间方便地获取信息。它提供短时间的特定事件意识和安全培训，可在对紧急情况做出反应之前提供。第二阶段公共部门会计准则下的拟议开发包括：(A)一个后端文件处理引擎，能够自动解析、分析、标记和组织文件，使其内容易于相互参照、链接和重新组织，以便在移动培训平台或其他电子媒体上有效交付。它将连接到服务器和数据库架构，以方便其操作和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中建立了原型，用于在事故发生前或事件发生期间向应急人员、熟练的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对包含不同内容的培训文档的大型存储库的智能搜索功能 结构。这一能力依赖于文档处理引擎半自动提取相关数据并自动将该数据转换为结构化格式的能力。 然后，这些数据可以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，采用了参与式设计范例，以促进用户需求的整合以及设计备选方案的快速原型制作和测试。这一方法将在阶段中继续使用 项目的2个部分。

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.
