Wearable devices have grown to meet the demand for continuous, noninvasive vital signs monitoring in the military and civilian health care markets.These devices have largely excluded pulse oximetry because non-traditional sites, such as the chest, arm and legs, pose a challenge. We have previously demonstrated the ability to accurately monitor pulse oximetry on the chest, arms and calf.This projec ...

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 ...

Blast induced Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a major threat to the health of military personnel serving in modern theaters. As such, the biomechanical injury pathways of TBI are, and have been, the focus of many animal studies. However, differences in the experimental setups across laboratories make it difficult to draw definitive conclusions from the resulting data. A tool that can accurately es ...

Biological tissues collection is problematic and risky even under ideal conditions; when collection occurs in remote locations, or by minimally- trained personnel, as may occur in response to an emerging disease threat, risks are magnified. This proposal addresses this issue by developing a Field Fixation Unit (FFU) for specimen collection that utilizes single-use capsules pre-loaded with fixative ...

Orora Design Technologies proposes to develop electronic design automation (EDA) tools employing minimally invasive circuit design-based methods to mitigate single event effects (SEEs) for next generation Ultra-DSM CMOS (
