"The Promise of Visual Analytics"
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Virtual Soldier Project (VSP) is investigating methods to predict outcomes from wounding that will revolutionize medical care for the soldier, and in turn for civilian medical care. Prediction of outcomes of penetrating wounds will be made based on comparison of results from complex mathematical models, the soldier's baseline or healthy clinical data, and post-wound clinical data.
