Tao Treasures LLC, dba Nanobiofab (NBF), hereafter referred to as Nanobiofab, is developing a revolutionary RAPID-iNose solution to address the urgent need for an intelligent wound dressing system that integrates bacterial infection detection with NPWT. The RAPID-iNose employs low-cost, highly sensitive, accurate, miniaturizable, AI-powered gas sensors for rapid, continuous, and real-time monitori ...

US military personnel are subject to injuries caused by traumatic insults, such as explosions, gunshot wounds, and vehicle accidents. These types of injuries increase the chances of developing infections while waiting for transfer and after admission to medical care facilities. Treating infections due to combat-related wounds requires a high level of medical resources and is less successful compar ...

We propose a research program that focuses on the design of a handheld, non-contact Near-Infrared Photoacoustic (ncNIRPA) imager for evaluating intracranial oxygenation level, hemorrhage, and hematoma. A multi-iteration approach is proposed for the design development of the ncNIRPA imager. Due to the likelihood of open wounds in the head, lasers are deployed in the proposed ncNIRPA to support non- ...

We propose the development, through multiple iterations, the designs for a medic-mount, non-contact laser vital signs monitor (ncLVSM) that will aid medic’s triaging of injured Warfighter by autonomously retrieving the Warfighter’s vital signs (VS) without manual intervention by the medic. Pose sensing, assisted with overlaid human anatomy, triggers the retrieval of injured Warfighter’s vita ...

Future, multi-domain operational environments will require tools and systems that decrease the skill and experience level required to correctly perform critical patient care procedures, including airway management. Building upon extensive experience with device development for the combat medic, InnoVital Systems proposes to develop the Next-Generation Nasopharyngeal Airway (NPA), a universal devic ...

The purpose of this SBIR topics is to develop a light-weight, small cube(space occupying/volume when stored), field-ready antiseptic, warming, and pressure relieving casualty transport padding for up to 72 hours of litter evacuation.

We set out in the Phase I program to design a handheld, non-contact laser ultrasound (ncLUS) imager for aiding combat medics’ fast triaging on injured Warfighters in the battlefield. The ncLUS imager is to enable rapid assessments on conditions of internal hemorrhage and presence of foreign objects like shrapnel fragments through ultrasound imaging, all in non-contact manner and with the desired ...

Future, multi-domain operational environments will require tools and systems that decrease the skill and experience level required to correctly perform critical patient care procedures, including airway management. InnoVital Systems proposes to develop the Next-Generation Nasopharyngeal Airway (NPA), a universal device with guidance that facilitates placement to the correct depth and an adaptable ...

Approximately 40% of combat wounds become infected that can lead to substantial morbidity and mortality. The patient is often given broad-spectrum antimicrobial treatment, prior to identification of the pathogen, or the antimicrobial susceptibility profiles, contributing to antimicrobial resistance. Delivery of a targeted, real-time wearable device to monitor wound infection on the battlefield and ...

Modular Matter, Inc. has developed a revolutionary way of applying biomechanically-relevant loads to the soft tissues of the human body. We have designed and tested a modular mechanical metamaterial that can support and transfer loads comfortably to the wearer's limb (skin, muscle, and bone). The modules can be assembled, disassembled, and reassembled in countless configurations. This means that t ...
