Trauma THOMPSON: Clinical Decision Support for the Frontline Medic
Abstract
U.S. Military healthcare providers increasingly perform prolonged casualty care because of operations in settings with prolonged evacuation times. Varied training and experience mean that this care may fall to providers unfamiliar with providing critical care. Telemedicine tools with audiovisual capabilities, artificial intelligence (AI), and augmented reality (AR) can enhance inexperienced personnel’s competence and confidence when providing prolonged casualty care. Furthermore, implementing offline functionality provides assistance options in communications-limited settings. The intent of the Trauma TeleHelper for Operational Medical Procedure Support and Offline Network (THOMPSON) is to develop (1) a voice-controlled mobile application with video references for procedural guidance, (2) audio narration of each video using procedure mentoring scripts, and (3) an AI-guided intervention system using AR overlay and voice command to create immersive video modeling. These capabilities will be available offline and in downloadable format.
