Design Concepts for an Integrated Environmental Medicine Workstation forPrediction, Simulation and Training

摘要

A design concept is developed for a comprehensive multimedia software-basedenvironmental medicine and physiology workstation for military health care planners and providers for use in both operational and training settings. This will be based on integrating a core of predictive models for soldier responses to hot, cold, and high altitude stress. Overlying this core is a layer of on-line documentation to provide assistance and guidance as well as support training modes. The user interactive information resource will incorporate USARIEM's cumulative database in hot, cold, and altitude stress as well as nutrition, human performance, and injury prevention. The outer layer the workstation is a flexible, user friendly, graphical interface. It may also be tailored as an environmental medicine computer-based training module for medical students and residents.
