This research project developed a Virtual Reality (VR) training simulator for paramedic procedures. Currently needle cricothyroidotomy and chest drain are modelled, which could form part of a larger system for training paramedics with VR in various other procedures. The simulator incorporates a number of advanced VR technologies including Oculus Rift and haptic feedback. We have gained input and f...Show More
Access to qualified medical care is severely limited in low-resource areas within East Africa. Technologies like Augmented Reality (AR) have been shown to be useful for medical teaching and guidance and may contribute to the training of medical experts in these countries. While still expensive, AR has low infrastructure requirements like cell phones, where ownership has constantly increased over t...Show More
I have been engaged in information science education for the training of medical technologists at a medical technology college. Up to the present, information science has not always been regarded as an indispensable part of the education of paramedics in Japan. However, along with the recent progress and technological advances in medical test equipment, as well as the promotion of electronic medic...Show More
This paper aims to enhance emergency medical services by optimizing ambulance routes towards hospitals equipped for spiral CT scans with minimal wait times.

Additionally, a machine learning model is used to d...Show More
In this study, the crucial contributions of paramedics working in 112 ambulances during natural disasters, specifically focusing on their role in providing medical interventions for disaster victims who are trapped under debris or require assistance after being rescued is examined. Paramedics play a vital role in disaster scenarios, leveraging their emergency response expertise and proficiency in ...Show More
This paper outlines and critiques the first two stages of a mobile mixed reality design-based research study exploring the design and evaluation of mobile virtual reality for paramedic education. We triangulate subjective student immersive environment feedback with objective biometric data to gain clearer insights into the impact of these immersive environments on student learning. In the study hi...Show More
Stress is a leading cause of errors and mental health issues for Emergency Medical Service providers, and most mitigation strategies have not always been successful. We describe our planned research to engage affect as interaction to design a system that promotes reflection and awareness to build resilience towards stress and negative emotions among paramedics. Also, although successfully implemen...Show More
Paramedics are often involved in varied and complex, emotionally provoking emergency calls which can result in difficulty controlling their affective experience. As a result, their internal physiological state may “leak” out through their external visual and auditory behaviors which can affect patient care. This research aims to identify how this ‘leakage’ may be perceived by observers, what commo...Show More
Occupants' safety in automobiles has been of utmost importance for all the OEMs starting by the turn of the century. Timely response to accidents can be life-saving in most of the cases. How fast can the paramedic team respond to the situation is one of the driving factors for this paper. This paper suggests a solution for faster evacuation of the occupants by the Paramedics. Also, it will help th...Show More

This research project developed a Virtual Reality (VR) training simulator for the CPR procedure. This is designed for use training school children. It can also form part of a larger system for training paramedics with VR. The simulator incorporates a number of advanced VR technologies including Oculus Rift and Leap motion. We have gained input from NHS paramedics and several related organisation t...Show More
The East Java region is a red zone area for COVID-19 cases. The number of patients being treated has an impact on the performance of medical personnel. Medical personnel gets tired easily and many of them die. To overcome this problem, a Paramedic Assistant Robot was designed. The methods used in designing this paramedical assistant robot are as follows: 1) Model design stage, 2) Determine electri...Show More
The objective of this paper is to examine the knowledge management (KM) paradigm in the context of UK paramedics' assessment and treatment of patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction (MI) or 'heart attack'. We outline the role of thrombolytic therapy and other aspects of emergency cardiac care and discuss how contemporary KM tools and techniques can be used to support the development an...Show More
The Juxtopia® Open-Wear research team collaborated with the Maryland Fire & Rescue Institute (MFRI) to test how the Juxtopia® artificial intelligent (AI) wearable augmented reality (AR) intervention may better deliver a hands-free clinical training intervention to firefighter Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) and prepare them for effective response to hazardous material (HAZMAT) incidences. Duri...Show More
Body centric wireless communication is now accepted as an important part of 4th generation (and beyond) mobile communications systems, taking the form of human to human networking incorporating wearable sensors and communications. There are also a number of body centric communication systems for specialized occupations, such as paramedics and fire-fighters, military personnel and medical sensing a...Show More
Two novel preprocessing techniques are applied to reinforce the detection performance and the image quality in microwave imaging systems designed for brain stroke detection. The image of energy distribution is obtained by applying a delay-and-sum beamforming to the backscattered signals measured using a hemielliptical array of 16 corrugated tapered slot antenna elements surrounding the head. The b...Show More
As access technology increases, voice, video, multimedia, and broadband data services are becoming integrated into the same network.

Disaster areas have been figured out as a typical usage scenario for mobile wireless ad-hoc networks (MANETs). In contrast to this, there are no specific mobility or traffic models for MANETs. We present a realistic approach to realize mobility in disaster areas based on tactical issues of civil protection. The new model is analyzed and compared to Gauss-Markov and random waypoint mobility models....Show More
For years, emergency medical response communities have relied upon paper triage tags, clipboards of notes, and voice communications to share information during medical emergencies. This workflow, however, has proven labor intensive, time consuming, and prone to human error. In collaboration with three EMS groups in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area, we have developed a next generation triage sy...
