This expansion effort will enable SoarTech to harden the C-CHAT prototype for use during field exercises and increase the current 4 TRL to a 7 TRL. Working with partners at the USMC Field Medical Training Battalion (FMTB) and the University of Central Florida (UCF), we will enhance C-CHAT to run as a stand-alone application on a DoD-approved Android smartphone (e.g., the Samsung Galaxy S20 Tactica ...

According to the Joint Commission, approximately 70% of sentinel events in medical care are related to communication mishaps, and despite regular and frequent occurrence, poor communication during patient handoffs (i.e., transfer of patient care information, responsibility, and authority from one provider to another) remains a major contributor to medical errors (Nether, 2017; The Joint Commission ...

Until now,much of theresearch usingfunctional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has focused on tailoringasystem to detect onlyafew cognitivestatesand theapplication of theseapproaches outsidethe laboratory is not well tested. This solution provides severely limited coverage of thespacethat this technology could beapplied to,and is notarealistic path for developing neuroimagingasan operational ass ...

This project aims to create a general-purpose readout architecture that will allow the rapid deployment of next generation detection systems. The system will be based on the development of a programmable general-purpose integrated circuit (GPIC) that has the front-end electronics required to read out signals from a variety of radiation detectors, especially next generation scintillators and semico ...

While aluminum casing materials provide some enhanced performance and thermal loading to explosive ordinance, their overall effectiveness is highly limited by incomplete combustion and long residence times. In order to reduce these problems, the casing material must be designed to facilitate rapid fragmentation through either specialized casing geometries or greatly refined initial particle sizes. ...
