Advanced Female Trauma Training System

For this Phase I SBIR proposal, Vcom3D proposes to design an Advanced Female Trauma Training System that features the accurate representation of anatomical and physiological differences of the women in our nations armed forces, and of the types of injuries that they are most likely to sustain in combat. The training system will include a ruggedized medical manikin and a wireless tablet controller for instructorless or instructor-mediated training. It will include training scenarios that that support Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) learning objectives.A functioning prototype of key features of the female trauma manikin will be developed and implemented as part of the Phase I project. The prototype will be evaluated by military medical trainers, and results of this evaluation will be used to refine the design for Phase II research and development.
