05/20/2019-04/30/2024

The goal of this project is to design, implement, and evaluate an intention-aware recommender system that (1) recognizes and tracks current team goals using sensor data, (2) derives recommendations that support adherence to goal-based protocols, and (3) displays these recommendations in real time on wall displays.

NSF CHS: Medium: Collaborative Research: Activity Recognition for Reducing Delays in Fast-Response Teamwork
Marsic, Sarcevic, Burd (Site PIs)
10/01/2018-09/30/2022

The goal of this project is to develop a system that provides real-time feedback to trauma teams about potentially delayed activities and enables more rapid management of life-threatening injuries based on recognition of critical activities.

AHRQ R03: Analysis of Factors Associated with Clinical Checklist Compliance
Sarcevic (PI)
10/01/2018-09/30/2020

The purpose of this project was to identify context attributes associated with non-compliant use of a checklist that is administered concurrently with dynamic clinical activities during trauma resuscitation. The research is establishing the relationship of checklist compliance behaviors to actual task performance and task attributes.

NIH/NLM R01: Automatic Workflow Capture and Analysis for Improving Trauma Resuscitation Outcomes
Burd, Sarcevic, Marsic (Multi PI)
08/01/2014-04/31/2018

The purpose of this project was to identify deviations and non-routine events associated with adverse outcomes within the trauma resuscitation workflow using process mining. The research was also establishing the feasibility of using RFID sensors for detecting activities during trauma resuscitation.

NSF CAREER: Supporting Fast-Response Medical Teams Through Interactive Information Displays
Sarcevic (PI)
02/01/2013-01/31/2019

The purpose of this research program was to develop innovative approaches for real-time presentation of process information to support situation awareness and collaborative work of interdisciplinary trauma resuscitation teams. The research will examine how context-specific information should be presented to support teamwork while accounting for team members’ perceptual and cognitive limitations.
