Touch of Life Technologies (ToLTech) proposes to develop a computer-based system to train diagnosis and treatment of Compartment Syndrome (CS) manifested in any muscle compartment of the human body. To do this, ToLTech will utilize its extensive experience building and interacting with virtual anatomy, to produce completely virtual patients exhibiting the look and feel of trauma related to CS. The virtual patients will be accompanied by a Mentor program that guides and tests the students through curriculum designed for their particular needs. In addition to the haptically enabled simulator, ToLTech proposes to develop a non-haptically enabled simulator and Mentor that can deliver important diagnostic training to a broad and remote audience.
