microsoft visual studio medication administration augmented reality mixed reality pediatric emergency medicine c# (programming language) unity engine user interface (ui) emergency medical services hololens (vr technology)Errors associated with pediatric medication administration in emergency medical services (EMS) are alarmingly high. In this project, we aim to mitigate this alarming issue by developing a safe and effective app using Microsoft HoloLens to help emergency medical doctors improve their medication dosing accuracy. To simplify the matter, the app will only focus on three drugs with the highest error rates.
In this project, you will develop a rich mixed-reality experience on Microsoft HoloLens 2 using Unity and Visual Studio (C#). So be prepared for a lot of learning in the first semester and I will provide you with the necessary learning materials. You will be able to start with an existing augmented reality prototype application and develop a full version of the app. You will also create a simple desktop user interface that will allow EMS agency administrators to add new medications to the HoloLens application. During the project, you will also have a chance to interact with an interdisciplinary investigation team that combines the fields of pediatric emergency medicine, EMS, engineering, and user interface/user experience.
This project is only available to WMU CS4990 senior design students. Mentorship will be provided, and weekly meetings are required.
