Telemedicine & Advanced Technology Research Center

Core Research

TATRC performs research to address critical gaps that are underrepresented in DoD medical research programs. There are four major divisions that allow TATRC to manage and address these gaps.

Data Sciences

Our Data Sciences Division (DSD) aims to enhance the speed of data-to-decisions (D2D) across the care continuum. Refines data strategy, data standards, and interoperability framework with partners. Works with internal and external partners to analyze data, curate it, and model it. Accelerates change using insights from data.


Core Functions: Creates data strategy, Coordinates and collaborates with data partners and enabling infrastructure, Curates and analyzes data, Models data, creates applications

Human Technology Teaming & Medical Performance Research

Our Medical Modeling, Simulation, Information and Visualization (MMSIV) team dedicated to studying technology’s impact on casualty care in militarily relevant contexts using high-fidelity simulation. The Nexus is a forum for research and collaboration, bringing together scientists, engineers, clinicians, advanced developers, and other stakeholders around simulation events of challenging healthcare and to solve problems together.


Core Functions: Medical simulation, Comparative Effectiveness Testing, Human Machine Teaming, Operational medicine: TC3, PCC, DCR, RL Critical Care, Data Collection, Human Subjects Research

Robotics & Engineering

Our Medical Robotics and Autonomous Systems (MedRAS) team develops novel robotic solutions, controlled remotely or autonomously, that team with humans to reduce task saturation, perform in contexts that are unsafe for humans, and ultimately increase the capability and thus capacity of caregivers at the point of need.


Core Functions: Medical Robotics, Automation/Autonomy, Medical Manned-Unmanned Teaming, Machine Perception (AI/ML), Decision Support, Systems Engineering, Test, and Integration
