The DoD is preparing for future Contested Degraded Operations (CDO) environments where it will not be possible to sustain the current levels of medical care across the chain of care. The availability of front line medical personnel, safe spaces to administer care, medical supplies, and time may be degraded because of enemy activity or lack of resources, denying physical access to evacuate patients ...

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 ...

Triton Systems will apply our novel material design, unmanned vehicle systems and insect containment expertise to develop a self-propelled tick collection device to capture both questing and non-questing ticks under various environmental conditions. Our approach is focused on the development of intelligent attractant control and automated sampling that go beyond the solicitation requirements and p ...

Based on the findings of Phase I on the latest scene detection technologies including Vuforia, Apples ARKit on iOS11, Microsoft Spacial Mapping on HoloLens, and Unity Multiplayer, a prototyping effort using a mixed approach to scene detection is proposed for Phase II to take advantage of the available technologies to create the best user experience possible for anatomical training. Dynamic 3D mode ...

Traditionally, prosthetic legs are built by a prosthetist and then properly aligned while the patient is wearing the device. This process is iterative and time consuming for the patient and prosthetist, and still often leads to improper or non-optimal prosthesis alignment.Without a properly aligned prosthesis, one is unable to maximize performance outcomes and return a person to their former activ ...

Triton Systems will develop a novel approach to field-based disease and biochemical diagnostics through innovative use of extremely low cost bioanalytical devices.The proposed platform will provide a low cost, portable, and reliable diagnostic test for on-site use in austere and resource-limited environments.The devices will be highly durable, rugged, and easy to use without user-induced variation ...

Adverse physiological events (PEs) have plagued warfighters piloting military aircraft, in particular PEs involving hypoxia and cockpit cabin decompression. Though there has been a large variety of research performed in trying to understand the problems and why theyre caused, there are inefficiencies due to the lack of standardized cross-laboratory protocols, procedures, and metrics. To address th ...

Clinicians have recognized that the nature of diseases can be highly individual resulting in different patterns of onset and progression. In turn, the response of an individual to drugs is also unique and governed by a variety of factors. Pharmacokinetic models represent the movement of a drug through the body, and personalized pharmacokinetic models aim to capture the unique responses of specific ...

Triton Systems, Inc. proposes to develop a piezo-textile that can capture underwater explosion pressure wave patterns to ultimately establish and monitor for injury risk severity. We propose to use a state-of-the-art piezo-textile to which we will apply our own proprietary treatments.We will assess our textiles pressure detection performance and durability against a non-textile piezoelectric array ...

Medical combat training relies heavily on medical simulation, particularly for practicing highly invasive, life-saving medical procedures. However, the major drawbacks to medical simulators include high costs of replacement parts, limited repeated use, and lack of feedback. Triton Systems proposes to design and develop reusable and reconfigurable soft tissue modules with integrated sensors to prov ...
