Overview
Information Visualization and Innovative Research Inc. (IVIR Inc.) is a private research and development company headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, United States. Established in 2008, the firm focuses on cutting-edge research and development in education, medical education, and modeling and simulation. Its team of professionals brings decades of experience in information visualization technologies, serving both U.S. military and civilian markets. IVIR's core offerings include systems engineering, program management, educational engineering, assessment technology, innovative research, curriculum development, product development, and independent test and evaluation. The company's stated goal is to achieve measurable results that make a lasting impact and ultimately save lives. It positions itself as a leader in medical simulation, aiming to connect with civilian and military medical markets and support improvements through education and training. A flagship program is the Joint Emergency Trauma Simulation (JETS), which began in 2016 as research awarded by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) under the name Joint Evacuation and Training System. The research focused on patient handoffs and transfers, developing an architectural design for a system of systems for joint en route care training. In 2018, IVIR received a follow-on DoD contract to develop a prototype of the Joint Evacuation and Transport Simulation System. In 2021, the program was renamed Joint Emergency Trauma Simulation. JETS core functionality allows current commercial off-the-shelf medical simulations to be integrated. IVIR also developed the Stand-Alone Patient Simulator (SAPS) to address specific training needs. The company continues to evolve, collaborating with clients and partners to improve processes and deliver sustainable success. Its vision is to stay current on today's and tomorrow's technology to meet growing industry needs.
History
Information Visualization and Innovative Research Inc. (IVIR Inc.) was established in 2008. The company was formed with the vision of creating an employee-centric company that provided quality products, innovative ideas, and services for growth in medical modeling and simulation. From its base in Sarasota, Florida, IVIR built a team of professionals with decades of comprehensive experience in cutting-edge research and development of information visualization technologies for the U.S. Military and civilian markets. In 2016, IVIR was awarded a contract from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) for research on "Patient Handoffs and Transfers." This research aimed to provide a more realistic representation of casualty handoffs and transfers in the joint en route continuum of care, with improved mechanisms for training, test, and evaluation to reduce medical errors and adverse events. It also sought to identify and address gaps in joint en route care training and construct a top-level interoperable architectural framework for a training system of systems that could track individual and team performance correlated to patient outcomes. This program was initially called the Joint Evacuation and Training System (JETS). In 2018, IVIR received a follow-on contract from the DoD to develop a "Prototype of the Joint Evacuation and Transport Simulation System." The program continued to evolve, and in 2021 it was renamed "Joint Emergency Trauma Simulation," retaining the JETS acronym. The core functionality of JETS allows current, commercial off-the-shelf medical simulations to be integrated. IVIR also developed the Stand-Alone Patient Simulator (SAPS) to address specific training needs. The company has continued to provide systems engineering, program management, educational engineering, assessment technology, innovative research, curriculum development, product development, and independent test and evaluation services. It collaborates with clients and partners to improve processes and deliver sustainable success, with a vision to stay current on today's and tomorrow's technology to meet growing industry needs.
