Integrating Instructional Strategies and Haptic Technologies to Enhance the Training Efficacy of an Army 91W (Combat Medic) Medical Skills Training Simulation
This paper describes the design of HapMed, a haptics-based simulation system for training US Army 91W10 combat medic tasks. Particular emphasis is placed on a cognitive engineering design methodology for integrating haptic technologies and instructional design strategies to enhance HapMed training effectiveness. The unique design of HapMed also addresses the Army's critical need for a modular, field deployable training system that bridges the gap between civilian first responder training and combat casualty care.
