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

A scene registration augmented reality proof-of-concept for medical education is proposed with the goal of making medical education, especially anatomical learning, intuitive, effective, accurate, and productive by leveraging the latest augmented reality technologies. To achieve the goal, following aspects will be investigated and developed: 1) recognize the fiducial markers on a mannequin or on a ...

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 ...

Fabrico Technology and Professor Andrew Ellington of the University of Texas at Austin, proposes to develop an in-field detection platform based on a novel variation of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). The proposed reaction works by utilizing a patent pending oligonucleotide strand displacing (OSD) probe which functions for LAMP in much the same way as a TaqMan probe functions for q ...

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 ...

The goal of this project is to develop an operational medical device to target and mitigate intracranial hemorrhage in advance of surgical intervention. This will require the development of a prototype device that targets specific volumes of tissues. The technology could be coupled with existing or novel imaging/targeting methods. The device will be designed to treat epidural hematoma (EDH) and ...

Triton is developing a device to be used in the temporary management of injury following ocular trauma. Triton is characterizing performance in vivo in Phase II.
