FAQs
Is JETS only for military use?
No, JETS supports various organizations involved in medical training and improved patient care. While initially created for military applications, JETS is also valuable for universities, hospitals, emergency management agencies (such as FEMA), and other organizations that conduct medical simulations and training.
Who is leading the development of JETS?
JETS was initially a research initiative of the Department of Defense (DoD), with advocacy from the Defense Health Agency (DHA). However, its capabilities extend beyond military applications, and it is now being made available to medical universities, hospitals, and emergency response organizations by IVIR Inc.
Who benefits from JETS?
JETS is beneficial to a variety of organizations that rely on medical simulation and training, including:
- Military and DoD: Enables joint training across different branches and improves patient handoff procedures.
- Emergency Response Agencies (e.g., FEMA): Helps standardize training for large-scale disaster response.
- Medical Universities: Enhances curriculum with realistic, data-driven medical simulation.
Hospitals and Healthcare Systems: Improves emergency preparedness and patient tracking workflows.
How does JETS integrate into my training center or institution?
JETS is built on an open, standards-based architecture using High-Level Architecture (HLA) protocols, which comply with IEEE standards. Depending on existing systems, integration options include direct HLA compatibility or a bridge solution, such as a REST API. The effort required will vary based on your current training infrastructure and desired level of integration
Can JETS work with my existing medical training systems?
Yes. JETS is a modular, scalable solution that can integrate with various medical simulation and training systems. If your system is not yet JETS-compatible, we can provide API support and integration services to facilitate adoption.
Is there a JETS demo that I can explore?
Yes, there’s a demo. This demo showcases JETS’ ability to synchronize multiple training sites, integrate with different medical simulation tools, and support tactical and logistical training. Potential users can see JETS in action and evaluate how it can enhance their training programs. Select “JETS VIDEOS” link below to view demos.
How does JETS improve training effectiveness?
JETS enables real-time data sharing across training environments, providing a standardized approach that enhances communication, assessment, and patient tracking during medical simulations.
What are the benefits of JETS for emergency management agencies like FEMA?
JETS allows cross-agency coordination and standardized medical training, ensuring that responders are better prepared for large-scale disasters.
Can JETS be used for remote or distributed training?
Yes. JETS supports distributed learning environments, allowing organizations to conduct training across multiple locations in real time.
What makes JETS different from other medical simulation platforms?
Unlike standalone simulators, JETS creates a federated system that integrates multiple training devices, software platforms, and data collection tools into a unified ecosystem.
