Combining Broadband Connectivity and Immersive Human-to-Computer Interfaces to Improve Medical Simulation Training and Patient Care

Abstract

We successfully created the necessary infrastructure and operational relationships to build upon for future phases of this project. We now have a basis for continued programmatic development, which in time may include medical education for military health care professionals as well as distance immersive training for warriors-each at their respective "remote" locations. The Institute for Health Technology and Transformation (iHT2) Summit was held at Seattle Science Foundation in August of 2010. The Summit focused on telehealth and medicine, specifically for soldiers suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
