ATC-NY is developing TELTAN (TELemedicine over a TActical Network), an Android and Windows software application for Virtual Interactive Presence and Augmented Reality (VIPAR). VIPAR shows great potential for making remote medical expertise available in th

This SBIR Phase I project will produce an innovative reading application and administrative portal to support science learning. Although the science textbook is a central curricular resource, this resource is often inaccessible and difficult to read. Science textbooks are syntactically (grammatically) and semantically (word meaning) complex. Specifically, elementary and secondary science texts are ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project involves addressing complexities in fluid management, one of the most important issues in critical care. Suboptimal fluid management results in many complications such as pulmonary edema. Studies show that fluid overload is associated with higher rates of morbidity and mortality. Recent studi ...

The broader impact/ commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project includes reducing emission of Diesel engines' toxic nitrogen oxides (NOx) in challengingly low temperature exhaust operations, while eliminating damaging urea deposits saving warranty costs for vehicle manufacturers, saving fuel, reducing greenhouse gases CO2 and N2O as well as particulate matter, wh ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project are foundations for an emerging industry: insects in agriculture. Beta Hatch is pioneering the production of new animal feed ingredients, developing technology to mass produce insects, and creating STEM jobs. The proposed work will allow scaling insects as a sustainable protein-rich feed ingredient. W ...

This SBIR Phase II project seeks to develop a novel low-cost molecular filter for use in harsh environments. This is accomplished using commodity silica gel, commonly found as a desiccant in food packing, whose pores can be made to be only a few molecules wide. Accurate tuning of the size and shape of the silica gel pores enables certain molecules to pass through while others are blocked from pass ...

This SBIR Phase II project will benefit society by reducing the cost of manufacturing biologic pharmaceuticals and improving their quality, including pharmaceuticals that are currently too costly to manufacture because they target relatively small patient populations. In order to accelerate the availability of newly discovered drugs, the pharmaceutical industry and federal regulatory agencies have ...

This Phase 2 SBIR program will result in a commercializable and clinically tested Prosthetic Smart Auto-Alignment Tool (ProSAT), which addresses the need to facilitate rapid, accurate, quantitative, and systematic diagnosis and adjustment of the physical alignment of a prosthesis. ProSAT is a novel approach to alignment challenges by creating a hybrid sensor and smart tool system that can adjust e ...

We are developing a physiological monitoring tool, PV[O]H, to simultaneously and continuously record hematocrit and vascular volume. The Phase I SBIR established the feasibility of producing an Army useful PV[O]H. Specific Phase II objectives are 1. Complete manufacture of 10 portable units, 2. Finalize FDA discussions to develop the device as a Medical Device Development Tool (MDDT), 3. Finalize/ ...

In the U.S., >400,000 cartilage-related procedures are performed yearly. Cartilage lesions, left untreated, can progress to joint degeneration and osteoarthritis (OA). OA affects 20% of Americans with resulting costs surpassing the $130 billion per year. Among active military service members, OA is a leading cause of disability. Durable treatments that are suitable for point-of-care application ar ...
