Thelack of low cost,maintenance-free,easy-to-wear personal samplingtechnology hinders assessment ofchemicalexposuresespecially in deployed military populations.We are developing a silicone wristband for use as a passivemonitor forenvironmentalexposure. Silicone wristband personal dosimeters (PDs) are uniquein being ableto measure both volatile(VOCs) and semi-volatile(SVOCs)compounds,capturing bioa ...

Veterans with amputations are relatively common as a result of war and peace keeping efforts. The civilian amputee population is also steadily growing as a result of vascular disease. For many years, there has been an emphasis on the development of prosth

Sweat contains biomarkers that give an indication of human cognitive levels. In this SBIR project TDA Research is developing a modular sweat sensor patch that has the capability to not only carry out real-time monitoring of select biomarkers, but also to

Currently, deployed medics are required to transport, maintain and be resupplied with liquid-based medications and materials that are heavy, expensive to transport, perishable and may require refrigeration. Many medications and materials are or will soon

22 million workers go to work each day in damaging noise. Noise-induced hearing loss remains a problem in US industry and in the US military despite our best preventative efforts. A significant roadblock in preventing hearing loss is the lack of an accu

To extend the usage of tourniquets during a war, Advanced Cooling Technologies, Inc. (ACT) proposes to develop an innovative limb cooling device charged with two-phase working fluid, which is able to rapidly cool down the limb and keep the limb temperatur

Neya Systems, LLC proposes RACC: Remote Assistance for Casualty Care. Our approach demonstrates a remote virtualized presence for medical expertise over a limited bandwidth communications link. A Medical Officer annotates an incoming video stream with procedural information for a full spectrum of medical demonstrations from simple text to manipulation via captured hand gestures. The annotations ar ...

TDAs proposes to develop a novel RF heating process for rewarming cryogenically preserved tissues and organs. TDAs approach is to optimize the RF frequency and power, along with the chemical composition, size and morphology of infused nanoparticles so that they heat tissue samples rapidly and uniformly. In this manner, the cryoprotectant solutions pass from the vitrified state to the liquid stat ...

Military personnel must be protected from diseases transmitted by ticks and fleas, including Lyme disease. Effective surveillance of tick and flea vectors is vital to determine the population present, whether they are carrying disease, and whether control campaigns are working. Unfortunately, current surveillance tools are ineffective. In Phase I TDA designed, prototyped, and tested a novel ti ...

The objective of the Phase II project is to develop a Residual Limb Health Monitoring Platform based on the Phase I findings and will integrate a sensor equipped smart socket liner, smart socket with radio transceiver and power source, and health monitoring software. Significantly, the software and hardware are open interface for new, 3rd party sensors, data transfer protocols, and prosthetic c ...
