Simulations for Virtual Surgery and Medical Training
Our work in this field involves developing simulations of high visual and physical fidelity of bleeding and hemorrhage, particularly within the context of human injuries, medical treatments, and surgical intervention. Our overarching objective is that these simulations will serve as the basis for future training platforms for combat medics and civilian medical students. Our work has been part of a much larger effort through the Center for Advanced Surgical and Interventional Technology (CASIT) at UCLA, and been supported by the Office of Naval Research and the overall Department of Defense.
