DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Hands-on training is a widely accepted methodology, especially for learning clinical procedures as they can be complicated and difficult to master. Virtual Reality (VR) based training systems can be highly successful in training operators because they can be accessed anytime anywhere as a refresher without the need for a human expert, can simulate various scenarios, can objectively monitor a trainee's performance and provide feedback. Yantric, Inc proposes to develop a comprehensive hands-on virtual reality based system for clinical education and training in order to improve training effectiveness and patient safety. In this collaborative effort involving medical experts in three medical centers, we will develop a virtual reality based central line placement trainer with integrated touch feedback. Yantric has vast experience in developing medical simulation systems and we will take full advantage of our existing hardware and software architecture for the design and development of this system. At the end of this project, the system will consist of the following key components. (1) A customized training system containing a haptic interface that allows the user to insert real instruments, such as needles and catheters while receiving touch feedback. (2) A medical simulation and training system for the infraclavicular central line procedure with 3D Anatomical Viewer and ultrasound guidance. (3) General user interface and didactic content presentation that is internet browser based, developed with HTML/CSS and capable of user's performance recording and evaluation. (4) A virtual reality based medical trainer that is verified in terms of content and validated for training effectiveness with experts and medical residents. In terms of commercial potential, there is a large demand for virtual reality based medical trainers for needle and catheter insertion procedures in general and regional anesthesia procedures in particular. An increasing number of central line placement procedures are being performed by anesthesiologists, intensivists, cardiologists, surgeons and interventional radiologists and each procedure is complex enough that there is a strong demand for a good training simulator. Once our training system is developed, it can be installed at educational facilities, medical institutions, hospitals, urgent care or health care centers, clinics, laboratories, and radiology centers. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed hands-on virtual reality based medical training system is expected to radically transform how medical trainees gain expertise in performing infraclavicular central line placement procedure in particular and complex needle and catheter procedures in general. This in turn will decrease the number of complications in the operating room and increase the number of successful cases leading to better patient care.

描述（由申请人提供）：动手培训是一种被广泛接受的方法，尤其是对于学习临床程序，因为它们可能很复杂且难以掌握。基于虚拟现实（VR）的培训系统可以在培训操作员中取得很大成功，因为无需人类专家就可以随时随地访问任何地方，可以模拟各种情况，可以客观地监视受训者的绩效并提供反馈。 INC Yantric，INC建议开发一种基于临床教育和培训的全面动手虚拟现实系统，以提高培训效率和患者安全。在涉及三个医疗中心的医学专家的合作努力中，我们将开发一个基于虚拟现实的中央线安置培训师，并具有集成的触摸反馈。 Yantric在开发医疗模拟系统方面拥有丰富的经验，我们将充分利用现有的硬件和软件体系结构，以设计和开发该系统。在该项目的结尾，该系统将由以下关键组件组成。 （1）一个定制的训练系统，该系统包含一个触觉接口，允许用户在接收触摸反馈时插入真实的仪器，例如针和导管。 （2）具有3D解剖学观看器和超声指导的甲状腺中央线程序的医学模拟和培训系统。 （3）基于Internet浏览器的一般用户界面和教学内容表示，使用HTML/CSS开发，并且能够进行用户的性能记录和评估。 （4）基于虚拟现实的医学教练，可以根据内容进行验证，并通过专家和医疗居民进行培训验证。就商业潜力而言，特别是在总体和区域麻醉程序中，对基于虚拟现实的医疗教练对针和导管插入程序的需求很大。麻醉师，强化学家，心脏病学家，外科医生和介入放射学家正在执行越来越多的中心线位置程序，并且每个程序都足够复杂，以至于对良好的训练模拟器的需求很大。一旦开发了培训系统，就可以安装在教育设施，医疗机构，医院，紧急护理或医疗保健中心，诊所，实验室和放射学中心。 公共卫生相关性：拟议的基于虚拟现实的医学训练系统将从根本上改变医疗学员如何获得专业知识，以执行非丙粉杆菌中央线的位置程序，尤其是复杂的针和导管程序。反过来，这将减少手术室中的并发症的数量，并增加成功病例的数量，从而获得更好的患者护理。
