From July onwards, emergency services across Europe will test the new Mixed Reality (MR) training system developed in the EU Horizon 2020 research project MED1stMR under the leadership of the AIT Center for Technology Experience.
The prototype of the MED1stMR mixed reality training system, which was developed for medical emergency workers and trainers, is ready. Now, in the third year of the MED1stMR project, the new training system will be tested and evaluated in practice with users and trainers.
Aims of the practical tests
- To evaluate the developed technology under realistic conditions (one-week training with three to five training groups per day).
- Feedback from end-users on their experience and acceptance of the technology as input for further development (all participants are active emergency paramedics or work in medical response organisations in their countries).
- Scientific studies (stress, performance, cognitive state, team behaviour, etc.)
- Raise awareness of virtual training in a mixed reality environment for emergency medical workers to improve performance and resilience in disaster situations among decision-makers.
