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 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 ...

Next-generation high-performance computing (HPC) hardware, such as the Intel Xeon Phi Knights Landing Many-Integrated-Core processor, provide new deep memory architectures that offer the promise of increased performance. The challenge in taking full advantage of this architecture is selecting which data structures will be placed in the high-bandwidth memory. Optimizing data structure placement in ...

A significant performance gap exists between the theoretical number of Floating Point Operations (FLOPS) that a HPC machine is capable of sustaining and the number of FLOPS realized by real-world HPC applications. One of the principle reasons for this gap is the parasitic work that computational processes must do to communicate with one another. It has been shown that this communication work can b ...

System maintenance is time consuming, expensive, and can cause extensive downtime if done improperly. To avoid improper system maintenance, extensive training is often required for existing systems, with additional training required for new capabilities before they can be deployed. This training often slows the deployment of new capabilities. To address issues with system maintenance, the ATC-NY t ...

The PV[O]H device probes capillaries noninvasively with a single color of light and uses the elastically remitted light as one signal and the inelastically (Stokes scattered) light as another signal. The algorithm processes these two signals to provide an extremely sensitive, precise and accurate simultaneous measurement of relative changes in total intravascular blood volume, plasma volume, red c ...

This proposal presents a non-invasive device to reduce, and control, intracranial pressure in the event of a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The device is compact, rugged, light, and easily transported by medics or civilian first responders in the field.

Hyperkalemia will clearly continue to be a concern in the treatment of combat casualties. The risk of death from hyperkalemia-induced cardiac arrhythmias is significant in the absence of renal replacement therapy (RRT). Rapid evacuation out of Iraq and Afghanistan ensured that most hyperkalemia occurred further up the evacuation chain, thereby limiting the need for non-RRT hyperkalemia treatment o ...
