DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Hands-on training is a widely accepted methodology, especially for learning clinical procedures as they can be complicated and difficult to master. Virtual Reality (VR) based training systems can be highly successful in training operators because they can be accessed anytime anywhere as a refresher without the need for a human expert, can simulate various scenarios, can objectively monitor a trainee's performance and provide feedback. Yantric, Inc proposes to develop a comprehensive hands-on virtual reality based system for clinical education and training in order to improve training effectiveness and patient safety. In this collaborative effort involving medical experts in three medical centers, we will develop a virtual reality based central line placement trainer with integrated touch feedback. Yantric has vast experience in developing medical simulation systems and we will take full advantage of our existing hardware and software architecture for the design and development of this system. At the end of this project, the system will consist of the following key components. (1) A customized training system containing a haptic interface that allows the user to insert real instruments, such as needles and catheters while receiving touch feedback. (2) A medical simulation and training system for the infraclavicular central line procedure with 3D Anatomical Viewer and ultrasound guidance. (3) General user interface and didactic content presentation that is internet browser based, developed with HTML/CSS and capable of user's performance recording and evaluation. (4) A virtual reality based medical trainer that is verified in terms of content and validated for training effectiveness with experts and medical residents. In terms of commercial potential, there is a large demand for virtual reality based medical trainers for needle and catheter insertion procedures in general and regional anesthesia procedures in particular. An increasing number of central line placement procedures are being performed by anesthesiologists, intensivists, cardiologists, surgeons and interventional radiologists and each procedure is complex enough that there is a strong demand for a good training simulator. Once our training system is developed, it can be installed at educational facilities, medical institutions, hospitals, urgent care or health care centers, clinics, laboratories, and radiology centers. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed hands-on virtual reality based medical training system is expected to radically transform how medical trainees gain expertise in performing infraclavicular central line placement procedure in particular and complex needle and catheter procedures in general. This in turn will decrease the number of complications in the operating room and increase the number of successful cases leading to better patient care.

描述（由申请人提供）：实践培训是一种被广泛接受的方法，特别是对于学习临床程序，因为它们可能很复杂且难以掌握。基于虚拟现实（VR）的培训系统在培训操作员方面可以非常成功，因为它们可以随时随地作为复习者而无需人类专家，可以模拟各种场景，可以客观地监控受训者的表现并提供反馈。Yantric，Inc建议开发一个全面的基于虚拟现实的实践系统，用于临床教育和培训，以提高培训效率和患者安全。在这项涉及三个医疗中心的医学专家的合作努力中，我们将开发一种基于虚拟现实的中心线放置训练器，并集成触摸反馈。Yantric在开发医疗模拟系统方面拥有丰富的经验，我们将充分利用我们现有的硬件和软件架构来设计和开发该系统。在该项目结束时，该系统将由以下主要组成部分组成。(1)一种包含触觉接口的定制训练系统，该触觉接口允许用户插入真实的器械，例如针头和导管，同时接收触摸反馈。(2)一种用于锁骨下中线手术的医疗模拟和培训系统，配有3D解剖查看器和超声引导。(3)通用的用户界面和教学内容演示是基于互联网浏览器，开发HTML/CSS和用户的性能记录和评估能力。(4)一个基于虚拟现实的医疗培训师，在内容方面得到验证，并与专家和住院医生一起验证培训效果。就商业潜力而言，对于基于虚拟现实的医疗培训器存在巨大需求，所述医疗培训器用于针和导管插入程序，特别是在全身麻醉程序和局部麻醉程序中。麻醉师、重症监护医师、心脏病专家、外科医生和介入放射科医生正在执行越来越多的中心线放置程序，每个程序都非常复杂，因此对良好的培训模拟器有强烈的需求。一旦我们的培训系统开发出来，它就可以安装在教育机构、医疗机构、医院、紧急护理或医疗保健中心、诊所、实验室和放射中心。 公共卫生相关性：所提出的基于虚拟现实的动手医疗培训系统预计将从根本上改变医疗学员如何获得专门知识，特别是在执行锁骨下中心线放置程序和复杂的针和导管程序一般。这反过来将减少手术室并发症的数量，并增加成功病例的数量，从而改善患者护理。
