Design of a smart hemodynamic monitoring simulator.
We describe the design of a medical patient status simulator developed as a proof of concept for the United States Air Force. The simulator is the precursor to a system that analyzes hemodynamic information in order to act as an intelligent assistant to a Critical Care Air Transport Team (CCATT) monitoring a critically injured casualty. The simulator displays hemodynamic information, alerts to abnormal values, offers likely diagnoses, and allows the team to review recommended therapies. The focus has been to develop a user interface and modular system architecture that allows individual modules to easily be evaluated and altered as needed. While initiated by the military, this work could also be used to aid civilian first responders.
