First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether augmented reality (AR) software can help emergency medical workers give the correct doses of medicine to children during emergencies. Over 300 EMS providers will participate in simulated pediatric emergencies, with some using AR and others using standard methods. The goal is to see if AR reduces mistakes, especially dangerous tenfold dosing errors.
