The overall goal of this project, in response to SBIR topic DHP12-016, is to refine and validate in an IACOC approved porcine study a novel easily deployed device to immediately treat severe facial burns in order to prevent infection and wound progression

Timely management and closure of burn wounds are critical for proper emergency care and the assurance of positive outcomes for the warfighter. Current technologies rely on reagents that cannot respond effectively to the different classes of pathogens that

Incidences of infectious disease pose serious threats to armed forces worldwide, risking the success of critical operations and can be responsible for the deaths of Warfighters. Current approaches attempt to reduce severity of disease impact to operational forces by detecting, monitoring, and treating infected personnel after exposure, but this does not effectively maintain and sustain force healt ...

Techulon has developed a platform based on peptide-peptide nucleic acids (PPNAs) molecules that are effective as antimicrobial compounds against multi-drug reisistant pathogens. Techulons targeted approach uses informatic algorithms applied towards an organisms genome to identify targets that will disrupt essential biological functions. The proposed Phase I project will focus on developing a new g ...

Integrated Clinical Environments (ICE) rely heavily on medical devices that need to be protected from security threats without compromising patient health and safety. There is a need to assess clinical workflow configurations in terms of security, usability, and efficiency. Currently, each medical device has its own security controls. Access to multiple devices in the integrated environment requir ...

KBSI proposes to design and develop a Data Integration and Predictive Analysis System (IPAS) for the prediction of incidents of human infectious diseases. IPAS will utilize innovative collection of data from open data sources, veterinary and medical professionals, and public observations, together with data cleaning, harmonization, spatio-temporal pattern extraction, factor analysis, and predicti ...

Intraocular surgery is usually performed under the stereoscopic guidance using a surgical microscope. However, when the optical clarity of the cornea is severely compromised, precluding visualization of the retina and other intraocular anatomy, intraocular surgery becomes very difficult and with increased risk of irreversible error. Minimally-invasive needle-size endoscopic tools are available, bu ...

The use of the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) can be difficult for patients and visitors to use due to the size and complexity of the facility. The current a kiosk concierge system cannot offer turn-by-turn facility navigation. This proposal seeks to design a combined indoor/outdoor navigation service to aid using and locating services and people in the WRNMMC facility. ...

About 40% of trauma-related deaths are related to rapid onset of coagulopathy and the vast majority of trauma patients are coagulopathic at the time of death. Lynntech proposes to develop a novel, easy-to-use and cost effective device for simultaneous quantitative real-time detection of multiple proteins involved in the hemostatic mechanism, using human unprocessed whole blood as the input sample. ...
