ALL THINGS CYBER
NEXT-LEVEL REALITY
A new augmented reality tool will soon provide enhanced decision-making and training for medics and corpsmen.

Te potential benefits? Te ability to assess and treat battlefield casualties more quickly and more effectively with fewer medical personnel, in addition to providing medical units with a 21st century training tool for enhanced training and increased readiness.
A
Initiated by the Defense Health Agency Small Business Innovation Research program in 2019, the USARIEM then designed augmented reality software for the Army’s Integrated Visual Augmen- tation System (IVAS) as a wearable tool designed to provide enhanced training through high-tech visual capabilities for Army combat medics and Navy hospital corpsman. While wearing the IVAS goggles equipped with the USARIEM software, a medic or corpsman can visualize the internal anat- omy of a wounded warfighter by projecting a morphed version of preprogrammed anatomy onto the real-world view of the warfighter.
Te tool has already been demonstrated at several Army, National Guard and Navy sites, but is currently being evaluated for transition to the U.S. Marine Corps to help wounded warfighters.
BENEATH THE SURFACE When the IVAS goggles are activated, the user can see the simulated internal anatomy of the whole warfighter and use brief verbal commands to select the anatomical systems that they wish to have displayed in their field of view overlayed on the view of the warfighter.

21st century augmented reality visualization tool developed by the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM) will soon give medics and corpsman the ability to “see” 3D anatomy graphics and triage information as they are treating wounded warfighters in the field.
