The purpose of this report is to: (1) highlight challenges of transitioning the delivery of simulation from centralized, in-person laboratory to decentralized, home-based, online format; (2) suggest a solution that involves the use of crowdsourcing community-based 3-dimensional printers to produce affordable simulators; and (3) present exploratory research and a test case aiming to identify crowdsourcing frameworks to accomplish this. We present a test case that shows the potential of the proposed solution to scale up the decentralized simulation practices during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. As a largely uncharted territory, the test case highlighted successes and areas for improvement that need to be addressed through both theoretical and empirical research and testing before full implementation and scale-up.

Electronic address:

A 15-year-old female sought multidisciplinary treatment for hypodontia, three-dimensional problems, deep overbite, multiple occlusal interferences, and collapse of the occlusion. Through virtual-digital design with objective decomposition, this patient underwent five steps of orthodontic treatment under the guidelines of the principles: removal of occlusal restriction is a prerequisite; transverse problems are solved first; then sagittal problems; and vertical correction runs through the treatment. After orthodontic and prosthetic treatment, aesthetic appearance and functional occlusion were achieved.

Background: Many children with cancer are treated as part of interventional clinical trials. Ensuring that the correct chemotherapy treatment plan is used is paramount.

Objectives: The objectives of this report were to: (1) highlight the initial design of a clinical decision support (CDS) tool that was intended to help ensure the correct matching of research studies to research chemotherapy medications, (2) discuss the issues identified with the CDS tool, and (3) review the redesign of the tool that was done to overcome the issues identified.
