| FROM THE DESK OF THE SSH ACADEMY STAFF LIAISON |
Have you contemplated nominating yourself or another individual to become a Fellow of the SSH Academy? This group of leaders and renowned simulationists are recognized as having made outstanding and sustained contributions to the field of healthcare simulation. This program recognizes those who have been in healthcare simulation for many years, contributing their time, effort, ideas, and passion into the creation and of evolution of SSH and healthcare simulation. If you or someone you know fits this description, consider becoming an SSH Fellow!
The application process will be opening within the next couple of weeks—keep an eye out on the SSH Academy website for announcement of the official opening of the application cycle as well as what is needed to complete an application. We anticipate closing the application period by June 28. ~ Andrew Spain
SSH will have a booth at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Patient Safety Congress in Houston, Texas on May 15 – 17. SSH Staff, Judy Larson, Director of Meetings and Exhibits, and Kathryn Pullins, Director of Membership, will be manning the booth. Stop by to participate in the Room Of Errors, a contest designed to challenge attendees to find the errors. Participate in the contest and enter a drawing to win a really cool prize. The scenario we use in the booth will be written by Chad Epps, SSH Past President. A huge shout out to Dr. Epps for his assistance again this year! Also, we will partner with IHI for the second year in a row to run the booth and put on the fun contest with IHI with Allison Perry, Project Director for IHI as our point person. Her help in managing the logistics of the whole thing is invaluable and we couldn’t do it without her! Stop by to participate in the contest and pick up a button for Healthcare Sim Week 2019!

The Arvada Fire Protection District is teaming up with a Colorado tech company to revolutionize how paramedics train. “I had never put on Virtual Reality goggles before,” said Captain Robert Putfark with AFPD. “It was mind-blowing. It was really cool.” Health Scholars has started creating training scenarios for medical professionals that can be hard or tedious to do the old fashion way.

Becker's Health IT & CIO Report
A study conducted by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis and published in JAMA Network Open found that motion-tracking devices worn on children's wrists were able to detect subtle motor impairments that can indicate developmental delays but are often overlooked. In the study, 185 children aged 0 to 17 with and without a history of motor deficits wore accelerometers on both of their wrists in 25-hour increments.

How should doctors and nurses spend their time? Ideally, talking with patients about their pain and progress, examining their illnesses and injuries, and planning their treatment. But, that’s a shrinking part of clinicians’ days. Luckily, it's a reversible trend. A study by the University of Wisconsin in 2018 determined that primary care physicians spend more than half of their working hours on administration such as updating health records, ordering tests and inputting billing codes. Ironically, technology has become the problem — or, rather, poorly designed technology.

A lab at the University of Alberta is setting up surgeons for success with augmented and virtual reality. The University of Alberta Surgical Simulation Research Lab (SSRL) covers a wide range of techniques and technologies and brings together knowledge from various disciplines from healthcare to computer programming. "We do everything to create a simulation model to replace human beings being used as a training model," said Bin Zheng, associate professor at the University of Alberta and director of the SSRL.

One in six consumers owns and use a wearable device. If there’s a tale that statistic tells, aside from that of spiking consumer interest in personal health, it’s the fact that far from the early days when it was more of a niche technology, wearable tech is now making a bold and dramatic entrance into the health care sector. As the distinction between wearable tech — everything from smartwatches to fitness bands — and actual medical technology wanes thinner, the former continues to establish itself as an indispensable consumer asset. But it’s not just consumers who are leaning in and setting up to exploit the many benefits ensnared in the wearable tech sector. Businesses and startups are as well.

Four turntables are arranged on a table at a zoo by the bear enclosure. Play a record and the bears stand up and boogie. Turn around and Pegasus hovers over another enclosure. Toss an apple into the pen, and you will be astride the winged steed, poised for a memorable ride. Yale sophomore Noah Shapiro created this fanciful virtual zoo. It is an immersive experience he developed in consultation with Yale Cancer Center’s Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Program to provide a measure of joy to children during a frightening and difficult time.

The reports on measles cases in the U.S. had yet to reach near-epidemic proportions when faculty in the Auburn University School of Nursing developed a simulation exercise about immunization education. Morgan Yordy, an assistant professor, and Ann Lambert, an assistant clinical professor, initiated the simulated experience for second-semester students.

Meet Beatriz, an older woman full of questions about what's going on around her as Alzheimer's disease steadily deteriorates her brain. Meet Alfred, a 74-year-old man struggling to get along with age-related hearing loss and narrowing vision, or Clay, a 66-year-old man who learns his throat and lung cancer is terminal and it's time for him to enter hospice care. They're not real people, but caregivers encountering them in virtual reality training are getting a unique perspective of what it's like to walk in the shoes of the real people under their care.

The Apple Watch Series 4 offers an electrocardiogram, or ECG, app to read your heart’s electric signals. Apple states that the app is capable of indicating whether your heart rhythm shows signs of atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rhythm) or sinus rhythm (normal pattern). It is plugged as a “momentous achievement for a wearable device,” but before you head to your local Apple Store, let’s discuss atrial fibrillation and how this ECG app may fit into your heart health.

You’re counting your steps, tracking your workouts and measuring your sleep with your wearable fitness tracker. But these devices can do more than help you improve your health — the data they track can help you spot dangerous health problems. Just ask Curtis Carey of Hudson, Wisconsin. His wife gave him a Fitbit fitness tracker for Christmas 2017. After using the tracker for a few months, Carey, now 69, noticed his heartbeat was irregular. “It would jump up to 130 [beats per minute] then down to 60, then back up and back down,” he says.

In an effort to enhance Soldier lethality, Army researchers are developing biorecognition receptors capable of consistent performance in multi-domain environments with the ability to collect real-time assessments of Soldier health and performance. "The Army will need to be more adaptive, more expeditionary and have a near-zero logistic demand while optimizing individual to squad execution in multifaceted operational environments," said Dr. Matt Coppock, chemist and team lead for the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command's Army Research Laboratory.
