Warehouse injuries and accidents are occurring much too frequently and resulting in devastating consequences and implications for the involved facility. Although the recent emergence of low-cost and unobtrusive sensor technologies have flooded nearly every market to improve health and safety, the warehousing and manufacturing markets have remained largely unpenetrated. Aptima plans to fill this ga ...

Technology Solutions Experts, Inc. (TSE) is proposing to develop the Property Reuse and Disposition Tool, a mobile app that will significantly expedite and facilitate the way in which the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) catalogs excess property for its reuse.The DLA's current process of cataloging excess property is cumbersome and tedious--with the advent and proliferation of mobile technologies, t ...

Military and civilian medical personnel across all echelons of medical care play a critical role in evaluating, caring for, and treating Warfighters. Despite advances in medical care technology, medical documentationcritical to effective coordinated and

Leveraging on our expertise in electro-opto-mechanical device development and system integration (hardware and software), Hitron Technologies Inc. (HTI) proposes to develop an autonomous solution tentatively named Tick Collection Robot (TiCoBot). The TiCo

Complex extremity injuries involving peripheral nerves are a significant issue for combat military personnel. Current clinical methods for repairing peripheral nerve injuries, including microsutures, autologous nerve autografts, and synthetic or autologous conduits, have limited success in fully restoring functional behaviors. Since these methods rely on the slow process of the axonal outgrowths f ...

Medical simulation has become increasing important tool for medical training in academic, hospital, and military settings. Despite the advancements in medical simulators, the major drawbacks include high costs, limited repeated use, and limited ability to customize parts. One approach that can address these issues is using self-healing materials as soft tissue parts in medical simulators that repa ...

USAMRMC seeks a sensor-enabled compression shirt for continuous ambulatory monitoring of service personnel via wearable sensors, which would allow for improved safety and sustained work capacity. Such a shirt must be comfortable and operable for 72-hour continuous wear, breathable, flame-retardant and avoid introducing thermal load. It must survive normal use including wear & tear (abrasion, stret ...

Rugged, comfortable and reliable physiological monitoring systems are required to allow military commanders and medical personnel to assess the basic health and readiness of the warfighter. Direct monitoring of the health and status of individual warfighters is defined as a key capability for the next generation of warfighter ensemble. Monitoring every warfighter is stated as a system performance ...

FTL Labs Corporations SPARO is a method for achieving an optimal alignment for lower limb prostheses using a patient-in-the-loop approach. The device will quantify and dynamically align the prosthesis in the sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes, and will be applicable to a wide variety of active and passive prostheses (including activity-specific prosthetic devices such as a running foot), whi ...

Supplemental oxygen is needed by aircrews and divers. However, oxygen use is limited by the onset of pulmonary oxygen toxicity (PO2T) which can significantly damage pulmonary tissues leading to decreased performance among other adverse effects. A real time sensor that is sensitive and selective with fast response is needed to monitor warfighter breath for trace VOC (volatile organic compound) spe ...
