HCC: Medium: Plug and Train: Mixed Reality Humans for Team Training

据估计，美国每年有4500万住院患者接受外科手术，其中严重事故导致832,500人死亡，对患者造成重大伤害的病例在135万至765万之间。在这些错误中，团队合作失败（例如，误解程序指示，不承认和重复药物剂量水平）是一个重要因素，在外科手术等医疗操作中高达70%。减少团队合作失败需要使用有效的协议进行团队培训；然而，关于这些协议的团队培训机会很少。智力优点：为了解决训练中的这个缺陷，项目将用混合现实人类（MRH）代替不可用的人类团队成员。mrh将插入不可用的人类团队成员的角色，以促进多方场景中的培训。研究小组将首先开发能够让MRH与人类受训者一起生活在训练环境中的系统。然后，他们将开发新颖的会话建模技术，以支持与人类受训人员和虚拟人类队友的任何组合进行的培训体验。最后，团队将使用该系统进行一组用户研究，探讨混合现实人的效果，混合现实人对团队动态的影响，以及混合现实人对团队培训的功效。这项工作的结果将是有效的独立，便携式MRH系统集成到临床培训环境。更广泛的影响：该项目将为团队培训提供重要的教育工具，最终将降低医疗团队错误造成的高昂的社会和经济成本。训练有素的团队犯的严重错误越来越少，从而改善了患者的治疗效果。这些工具和研究结果将被纳入佛罗里达大学继续医学教育和新员工培训的课程。虽然最初在临床环境中应用和评估，但研究人员预计，混合现实人类团队训练将适用于航空、军事、教育和危机应对等其他多方场景。

There are an estimated 45 million inpatient surgical procedures per year in the U.S., where critical incidents account for 832,500 deaths and between 1,350,000 and 7,650,000 cases of significant harm to the patient. Of these errors, teamwork failures (e.g. misunderstanding procedural instructions and not acknowledging and repeating back drug dosage levels) are a significant factor - up to 70% for medical operations such as surgery. Reducing teamwork failures requires team training using effective protocols; however, few team training opportunities on these protocols exist. Intellectual merit: To address this deficiency in training, the project will substitute unavailable human team members with mixed reality humans (MRH). MRHs will plug into roles of unavailable human team members to facilitate training in multi-party scenarios. The research team will first develop systems capable of having MRH inhabit training environments alongside human trainees. Then, they will develop novel conversational modeling techniques to support a training experience to be conducted with any combination of human trainees and virtual human teammates. Finally, the team will conduct a set of user studies with the system to explore the effect of mixed reality humans, the impact of mixed reality humans on team dynamics, and the efficacy of team training with mixed reality humans. The result of this work will be effective self-contained, portable MRH systems that integrate into clinical training environments.Broader impacts: The project will result in important educational tools for team training that will ultimately lower the high social and financial costs of team errors in medicine. Better trained teams make fewer and less serious mistakes, thereby improving patient outcomes. The tools and findings will be integrated into the curriculum of continuing medical education and new hire orientation at the University of Florida. While initially applied and evaluated in a clinical setting, the investigators anticipate that mixed reality human team training will be applicable to other multiparty scenarios in aviation, the military, education, and crisis response.
