Our Phase 1 objective is to identify appropriate technologies that can improve communication and engagement in the Second Life (SL) virtual world (VW), and to determine new methods that allow for enhanced physical therapist and patient interaction in-world. There is a growing need for third party VW development targeted at specific groups, especially in health care domains, which tend to be more ...

The ASES concept, consists of three subsystems including a Patient Support Platform (PSP), a Comfort Mat System (CMS) and a detachable Aeromedical Equipment Module (AEM). This system provides a stabilization and traction platform solution for aeromedical evacuation with comfort mat subsystem using heated alternating pressure air bladders or gel technology to prevent pressure sores.

Due to the possible transmission of blood-borne diseases, biting insects, mosquitoes, midges, and sand flies pose increasing danger to deployed military personnel and humans in locations around the globe. The SkySight Technologies approach to creating and demonstrating a tent trap to capture biting flies and mosquitoes that come to bite a human resting inside was to modify a standard tent with the ...

In recent years, many human-computer interaction and virtual environment systems have incorporated haptic devices. However, the range of environment properties and types of interactions enabled by existing haptic interfaces are very limited. Haptic feedba

The Army has a defined need for an enabling technology that permits rapid prototyping of candidate combat medical devices within the OneSAF simulation environment. In response, Vecna has developed an open systems specification and interface tool that will allow OneSAF to interface with a real or simulated medical device to evaluate operational effectiveness and identify constraints for use. Th ...

Mimosa Acoustics will develop a portable binaural audiological device, based on our successful HearID system. HearID is a clinical system for otoacoustic emission and middle-ear power analysis testing; it is FDA and CE-marked. The new system will have the ability to conduct a variety of audiological tests especially for use in hearing-conservation programs, including: flexible otoacoustic emission ...

Utilizing all SAS"s statistical and data manipulation power; Using SAS to interface with data sources -- Excel, Access, Oracle, DBII, Teradata, CSV, directly entered data; Building point and click to select data, read into application, save to output. Applying basic statistical model -- logistic, general linear, conditional logistic, ANOVA, MANCOVA, repeated measurements, survival/Poisson analysi ...

Development, approval, and fielding of next generation combat casualty care technologies is a time and resource intensive process. New simulation and modeling tools are needed to rapidly assess the impact of next generation combat casualty care technologies. Understanding the impact of the new technology, early in the design/development phase will benefit the Department of Defense by enabling the ...

Intelligent Automation proposes to develop voice-based automated Tele-PTSD Monitor (TPM), which can remotely screen, monitor, and provide assistance to clinicians in diagnosing a PTSD patient"s mental healthiness and readiness. A soldier (or other service man/women who may suffer from PTSD) can access the TPM system via a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) or the Internet. The voice data is ...
