A new briefing, “TCCC Gaming – a way to compensate for shortages of medical instructors in the field?” (“TCCC-gaming – ett sätt att kompensera för sjukvårdsinstruktörsbrister ute på förbanden?”), from Erik Mattsson, Surgeon General of the Swedish Home Guard, calls for expanded use of gamified Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) training to address shortages of qualified medical instructors and limited hands-on training opportunities.

The report highlights ongoing research by Karolinska Institute/LIME, including studies that directly involve Tactisim’s TCCGo mobile app. Findings show that gamified training boosts engagement, supports skill retention, and offers a cost-effective supplement to live exercises.

TCCGo: The Swedish Answer

Developed by Tactisim, TCCGo delivers realistic, scenario-based trauma training that can be accessed anywhere, anytime. The app enables users to:

• Practice the TCCC algorithm in varied environments.
• Build situational awareness under simulated stress.
• Maintain motivation through gamified progression.

By bridging the gap between courses, TCCGo helps ensure that lifesaving skills remain sharp and mission-ready — exactly in line with the capability needs identified by Sweden’s defence medical leadership.
