List of BDT Idea Teams
Breakout Session Instructions:
- The BDT project champion will ask interested individuals to join them in the room somewhere. People will need to move, move chairs, etc... to assemble into groups. Easels will be available with Flip Chart paper on them for you to work with.
- Participants will self-select the project they want to contribute to. They will be teaming with other people who are interested in that topic, and they should select their group as they come into the room at the beginning of Day 2.
- Each group will be provided a template to work from and flip chart paper. The Handout: BDT Teaming Ideas template will include the instructions provided below. Handout was also provided at registration desk this morning.
Round 1: Getting Started: Using the Definition
Use the Template to Work Through the Following:
- BDT Project Title (and NUMBER)
- Draw NASEM Loop based on your BDT project
- Include how pitfalls will be addressed
- Fit-for-Purpose
- Verification, Validation, and Uncertainty Quantification (VVUQ)
- Mathematical and Statistical Foundations for BDT
- Virtual to Physical Control Algorithms/Expert in the Loop
- Ethics, Security Issues
- Team Science Approach, Governance
- List all who contributed to this work/chart so that you can reconvene as a group in future sessions
Critical Questions when Conceptualizing a BDT:
- What is the problem you are trying to solve?
- How will a BDT solve this problem?
- What makes your BDT realistic?
- What enables your BDT to change and mature over time?
- What is a the physical model?
- What is the virtual model?
- What information will be passed between the physical and virtual assets in real time?
- What are the ethical issues that must be considered in developing and using this BDT?

Proposed BDT: Surgeon BDT to assess and predict fatigue. Rationale: Studies have reported that operative errors are increased when surgeons are fatigued, however, objective predictors of fatigue are lacking. Fit for Purpose: The purpose of the Surgeon BDT is to predict fatigue as reflected by changes in posture, axial muscular tone, physiological signals (eg HRV changes). The physical asset are surgeons in the operating room, the virtual asset is a biomechanical model of posture and fine motor function, the sensors are wearable physiological monitors and smart textiles that can measure position and muscle tone/function, the decision informed by the virtual asset is to project the onset of fatigue that impacts motor function and suggest transition of the case/subsequent cases to another surgeon, or remediation physical therapy to alleviate muscular fatigue.
