This paper discusses a Juxtopia®Open-Wear research collaboration with the Maryland Fire & Rescue Institute (MFRI) to evaluate how an artificial intelligent (AI) wearable augmented reality (AR) intervention quantifiably improves hands-free clinical training proficiency of firefighter United States (U.S.) Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) and prepares them for administering effective clinical skills (e.g., Tourniquet) in response to hazardous materials (hazmat) incidences. The AI-AR system, Juxtopia®Context-Aware Mobile Mixed Reality Assistive Device (CAMMRAD) Prepare E-Training system was evaluated in a two day controlled study including firefighter EMTs subjects who participated in simulated training exercise that mimicked their real-world operations. Results of the study indicates a need for AI-AR training to continually improve EMT clinical skill proficiency.
