Formal Methods for Establishing Simulation Interoperability for Military Health System Applications.

Introduction: Advancements in information technology have facilitated information exchange practices within the Military Health System (MHS), enabling "systems of systems" approaches that broaden and coordinate the set of capabilities available to enhance patient outcomes. This is applicable for MHS modeling and simulation (M&S) applications as well. Learning from successful approaches applied in current interoperability solutions used in the military helps to ensure interoperability practices yield trusted compositions of simulations.

Computer-assisted approaches for measuring, segmenting, and analyzing functional upper extremity movement: a narrative review of the current state, limitations, and future directions.

The analysis of functional upper extremity (UE) movement kinematics has implications across domains such as rehabilitation and evaluating job-related skills. Using movement kinematics to quantify movement quality and skill is a promising area of research but is currently not being used widely due to issues associated with cost and the need for further methodological validation. Recent developments by computationally-oriented research communities have resulted in potentially useful methods for evaluating UE function that may make kinematic analyses easier to perform, generally more accessible, and provide more objective information about movement quality, the importance of which has been highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
