SOLUS Inc. proposes an advanced distributive medical protocol 'course assembly' and 'scenario training' technology designed to meet multiple military mission objectives, including global standardization of treatment and decision-making algorithms. The system will be designed around a medical image database-coupled and telemedicine-deployable 'forward and reachback' training module intended for use by medical personnel engaged in professionally-interactive implementation of treatment protocols that guide initial assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of patients throughout local (standard medical facility) and remote (field combat) settings. With an adaptively intelligent tutor embedded in the training system, extensive use of semiotically-based, widget configuration-driven graphic user interface elements will enhance system applicability under performance stress, multi-task decision-making, and linguistically or culturally-variable geopolitical settings. Phase I will include detailed development of sample protocol content (based on approved military medicine practice guidelines) in three areas: closed and penetrating head trauma, intervention for systemic shock of multiple etiologies, and NBC threat exposure or related onset symptomatology. Designed to be internet-accessible on cutting-edge portable computational technologies, system design will utilize a proprietary version of the cutting-edge 'Rosetta' scenario assembly software technology for authoring and generating interactive multimedia training modules, and for running complex high-throughput graphically-driven routines in distributed user environments known for decision-implementation-intensive dynamics.
