Eric and his
SiTEL teammates are in the beginning stages of developing a burn
patient management training simulation prototype! The complete version of this
serious game will allow both medical and non-medical staff to
experience the high-pressure stakes of life in a hospital burn unit
during a mass casualty incident (MCI), having to carefully diagnose
critical burn patients, with life hanging in the balance.
Users will
perform the
tasks that emergency responders and other health care personnel
would carry out during an MCI. Users will have to manage the
needs of victims while projecting ahead to prepare for the scope and
nature of an MCI. Users will interact with the victims, the
environment, and other frontline responders just as they would in an
actual situation.
Eric spent the early part of this ongoing development performing
research tasks involving taking photos and video footage of live
burn patient surgeries and wound dressings. Far more
fascinating than stomach churning. Stay tuned for more!
