Pocket Ark: Making PPE Training Simple, Smart & Actionable

Overview: Natural disasters like Hurricane Harvey revealed the immense vulnerabilities faced by construction workers who participate in post-disaster recovery efforts. These workers often lack adequate training in hazard recognition, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) usage, and emergency response—putting their health and lives at risk. “Pocket Ark” was developed as an innovative, mobile-first solution aimed at closing this gap through interactive, engaging, and easy-to-access PPE training.

MY Health: Helping Young Adults Take Charge of Their Health

Overview: Growing up comes with many changes, and one of the biggest is learning to manage your own healthcare. Moving from parent-guided pediatric cancer care to self-managed adult care can feel overwhelming.

Recognizing this challenge, Radiant, in collaboration with the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ), has launched a transformative digital intervention called Managing Your Health (MYH).

mySmartSkin: Helping Skin Cancer Survivors Stay One Step Ahead

Overview: Skin cancer survivors remain at high risk of recurrence, particularly melanoma survivors who face the possibility of developing a second melanoma. Despite this elevated risk, many survivors do not regularly perform thorough skin self-examinations (SSE), a crucial step in early detection. To bridge this gap, the mySmartSkin (MSS) intervention was developed. MSS is a fully automated, mobile-based program designed to increase the frequency and quality of thorough SSEs among melanoma survivors.

Capturing Continuity of Knowledge Through Cognitive Task Analysis

Most of the work in the US today is mental labor as opposed to manual labor. As individuals get more skilled in their work and become experts, their value to your organization grows. Once an employee reaches relative expertise, their absence (or loss) becomes a significant detriment. But capturing their knowledge allows businesses to reduce the impact of absence substantially. However, effective knowledge capture is difficult because experts tend to have a high omission rate when attempting to detail and record their decision-making.

Applying Data Analytics to Improve Training Outcomes

​Introduction

Corporations spend billions of dollars ($370B in 2019) on training each year. Given this level of investment, it is surprising that a relatively insignificant portion of the expenditure is spent examining training efforts’ efficacy.

For over 40 years, the Kirkpatrick Model, named for its creator Dr. Donald Kirkpatrick, has provided the most extensively used training evaluation guidance. The original model had four levels, but many researchers refined it in the intervening years. Now the model is often shown with a fifth level.
