MED1stMR
TRAIN [SKILLS. RESILIENCE. PERFORMANCE.] SAVE LIVES
Medical first responders are confronted with an increasing number of mass-casualty incidents with a large number of injured persons. The proper evaluation of the situation itself, checking and monitoring the vital status of a large number of victims, and choosing the most appropriate strategy to further proceed with treatments are particular challenges.
MED1stMR develops innovative mixed reality training technology to combine real-world medical simulators with virtual environments to train medical first responders for these challenges.

The Consortium
MED1stMR is a multi-disciplinary research and development project focussing on novel technologies and tools for medical first responders. The consortium was carefully formed to reach the ambitious project goals by incorporating all necessary expertise for effective execution of this 3-year project. The consortium brings together competences in the fields of Psychology and Training Science, Human Computer Interaction, Medicine, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Visualisation and Biosignal processing.
Advisory Board
The consortium has formed an external Advisory Board of experts from other medical first responder organisations and technology experts in the field of MED1stMR. The Advisory Board assists the project team by surveying its progress and by bringing in expertise through expert discussions, workshops, review of project results and discussion on project objectives. This will ensure a broader pan-European multi-cultural and multi-national dimension when developing MED1stMR.
